Description

From the number one New York Times best-selling author of A Discovery of Witches - now a hit TV series on AMC and BBC America and streaming on Sundance Now and Shudder - the fourth novel in the All Souls series. What does it truly take to become a vampire?

On the battlefields of the American Revolution, Matthew de Clermont meets Marcus MacNeil, a young surgeon from Massachusetts, during a moment of political awakening when it seems that the world is on the brink of a brighter future. When Matthew offers him a chance at immortality and a new life free from the restraints of his puritanical upbringing, Marcus seizes the opportunity to become a vampire. But his transformation is not an easy one, and the ancient traditions and responsibilities of the de Clermont family clash with Marcus's deeply held beliefs in liberty, equality, and brotherhood.

Fast-forward to contemporary Paris, where Phoebe Taylor - the young employee at Sotheby's whom Marcus has fallen for - is about to embark on her own journey to immortality. Though the modernized version of the process at first seems uncomplicated, the couple discovers that the challenges facing a human who wishes to be a vampire are no less formidable than they were in the 18th century. The shadows that Marcus believed he'd escaped centuries ago may return to haunt them both - forever.

A passionate love story and a fascinating exploration of the power of tradition and the possibilities not just for change but for revolution. Time's Convert, the fourth book in the All Souls series, channels the supernatural world-building and slow-burning romance that made the previous books instant best sellers to illuminate a new and vital moment in history, and a love affair that will bridge centuries.

A PopSugar New Book Your Friends Are Going to Be Talking About This September

“Harkness brings her keen historian’s eye to the American and French revolutions, drawing parallels between the two periods through not only the vampire witnesses to history but the appearances of historical figures: the Marquis de Lafayette, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine.” (Los Angeles Times)

“In Time’s Convert, Deborah Harkness, the author of A Discovery Of Witches, spins a tale of life-ever-after, romance, and family drama, and it is gloriously entertaining.” (Bustle)

“This vampire book is set during the American Revolution, when a young man named Marcus MacNeil is offered a chance to escape his puritan upbringing (boring!) and become immortal (fun!). From the bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches.” (New York Post)

soft spell

While D Harkness continues to deliver a wicked storyline, this one did not deliver the page-turning pace of the first in series. Still a great listen.

Good

I enjoyed the storyline but was disappointed it was a different narrator as I was used to the way the voices were in the other books. Otherwise I enjoyed it.

An insight to Marcus Whitmore / DeClairmont

Great performance though some of the accents are different for some characters it seems. Loved finding out about how Marcus was made and how Phoebe deals with becomming a vampire.

If you’re not ready to leave the story, you’ll like this.

It’s not as good as the first three books and really isn’t necessary. It is good in that it resolves a few things and gives a snapshot into what the characters are up to after book three.
I enjoyed the flashbacks to Marcus’s early life and as always I enjoyed the history that is so masterfully told.
Solid book. Don’t expect the same action packed pace as the first three though. This one is easy listening.

Continuation of All Souls Trilogy

A very nice job of fleshing out Marcus's character. A decent amount of continuation on Diana and Mathew woven through the story. Very good flow and a cute addition on the All Souls Trilogy, not as much drama. Loved it, waiting for the next one!

Wonderful continuation from the all souls trilogy.

Although Saska Maarleveld is a good narrator, Jennifer Ikeda should have continued to be the narrator of this series.

Inconsistent pronunciations of names established

An inconsistent pronunciation of firmly established names from the 3 other books (Marthe is not pronounces phonetically!!) accents destroyed and even the timbre of this book's narration deviates so wildly from the other three, it's frankly detrimental to the story. Disappointed in this one. If there will be a 4th, hopefully Jennifer Ikeda will continue her wonderful narration.

Disappointing performance

Overall the story is fantastic and the narrator isn’t bad but I agree with the other comments regarding the accents of characters and mispronunciation of the French words and places. It was distracting and detracted from the story. Having continuity from the first three books where character accents are concerned was important and the change from British to American (Marcus), German to Scandinavian/French (the sister), etc. threw me off a bit in this latest book. Too bad. But overall a good listen.

Not necessary to read after the trilogy

This book is the fourth book of the “A discovery if witches” series. Fans of the trilogy, you can completely skip reading this book. The story is not as exciting and and the characters are not interesting enough to carry the story weight. Its a good listen if you lower your expectations.
