À propos de cet audio

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)

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.


Good

Truthfully, I put off this book because I wasn’t interested in Marcus & Phoebe’s relationship. However, it has all the main characters in the story too—both in modern day and the past—and carries everybody’s stories forward together.
And, I found myself engrossed in Marcus’s past, which I didn’t expect.
Excellent book and absolutely EXCELLENT narration! Highly recommend!

Way better than I expected.

i hated that a new narrator was used as was use to the one who did the first books so threw me off for the character voices etc I LOVED THE FIRST 3 books this one i was not happy it had a different reader

Great series just not happy the narrator changed for this book

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.

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

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.

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!

I expected more after the all souls trilogy, they were fantastic books. This add on felt more like an explanation of what the characters were doing, i kept waiting for more, then the book ended. The trip back to cononial times and Markus's origin story was the best part but lacked something, i didn't feel connected to his character at all.
Pheope's becoming g a vampire story was the part that bored me most. The build up aroumd Pheope becoming a vampire and all the things that could go wrong hits brick wall after brick wall. Just when you thought some excitement and drama was going to happen she did what was expected of her, nothing happened. That's how I felt about the whole book, nothing happened.

Enjoyed it but it found the storeyline dull.

When this storyline started they had Jennifer Ikeda as narrator. She was wonderful. While this new narrator is okay she comes no where near to the sheer enjoyment of listening to this story that Jennifer Ikeda does.
The listen was okay but not at the caliber it would have been with the original narrator.
I'm afraid I won't be buying anymore in this series if Ms. Ikeda is not the narrator.

A Change in Narrator Dissappoints

I really enjoyed the ADOW series. Excellent books. Fun escapism. They were phenomenal audio books, significantly due to the narrator. For this book, they changed the narrator. I really wished they hadn’t. It was disappointing and this narrator isn’t as talented or as engaging as Jennifer Ikeda (I’m spelling her name wrong), but the narrator who performed the first 3 audio books. So while this story is really good, changing the narrator decreased my personal enjoyment while listening to this audio book.

Good story, narrator disappoints
