It took me a long time to get into this book, mostly through no fault of the book, but because I was having a hard time getting into anything. Once I got rolling, it became the book I couldn't put down. I love the world Deborah Harkness created and the dynamic between Matthew and Diana. And I am fascinated by all of the characters, especially the house! 
 What i like most about the book is that while there is a ton of power in this relationship, it is equal between the two of them, clearly they both need each others powers/abilities to make this work. I'm excited to go on this journey with them! 
 I bought the second book so that there won't be a moment's delay!
