Review: Shadow of Night
This is my review of Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness, the second book in the All Souls Trilogy. This is a story of magic, love, and history, blending fantasy with real historical events and figures.
Plot Summary

The plot follows Diana Bishop, a historian and witch, as she travels back in time to Elizabethan England to find a way to defeat the evil vampire, Matthew Clairmont. Along the way, she encounters historical figures like Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare, adding depth and intrigue to the story.
The Charecters

Diana and Matthew’s relationship continues to evolve, with their love being tested by the dangers they face. The supporting characters, including witches, vampires, and daemons, are well-developed and add richness to the narrative.
