Sinossi
L'incontro tra Diana Bishop, studiosa e strega di Oxford, e il vampiro genetista Matthew Clairmont è stato fatale: incredibilmente attratti l'uno dall'altra, nonostante i tabù che volevano le loro specie nemiche e divise, si sono innamorati. Insieme hanno viaggiato nell'Inghilterra elisabettiana, hanno risvegliato poteri oscuri e ribaltato il vecchio ordine del loro mondo... Ma ora Diana e Matthew hanno ricevuto una richiesta formale dalla Congregazione: testare la magia dei loro gemelli di sette anni, Pip e Rebecca. Preoccupata per loro, Diana decide di forgiare un percorso per il futuro della sua famiglia e risponde al messaggio di una prozia di cui non conosceva l'esistenza, Gwyneth Proctor, il cui invito recita: È ora che torni a casa, Diana. Sul terreno sacro di Ravenswood, la casa della famiglia Proctor, e sotto la tutela di Gwyneth, una strega di talento, per Diana inizia una nuova era: dovrà affrontare il passato della sua famiglia e fare i conti con il suo desiderio di un potere ancora più grande - se riuscirà a lasciar andare, finalmente, la sua paura di esercitarlo.

Recensioni
I was visiting family while trying to read this, so I kept getting interrupted and had to restart the book and reread many chapters afterward over and over again.

This entire book is an overly long prequel to the next of the series, and could have used major editing. The book is about twice as long as it needed to be, and rather than a storyline of building character growth, the characters remain inconsistent and at times immature throughout the entire novel.

it seems like this is the year of being disappointed by new books in a series - the blackbird oracle was good, but didn’t measure up to the standards of the previous books. it read more like a novella that wasn’t trim enough than a standalone book - maybe because nothing felt resolved at the end, bu Leggi tutto
I actually hated it so much, which breaks my heart. This series is one of my favorites, but this one just felt so different from the original 3 and even Time's Convert. I was bored through most of it. I feel like nothing happens and that everything changed. Diana and Matthew just seemed like complet Leggi tutto
I just... what?! What even was this?! Now, I absolutely LOVED the original trilogy. I enjoyed the 4th although I though it rambled a lot. I've re-read them all multiple times. So let me assure you that I didn't go into this book unprepared for complex history and magic systems, character growth and f Leggi tutto
It is painful to give this a three as I truly love the series. I was really looking forward to the release of this book, but I don’t think that there was enough conflict, honestly. It was a bit muddled and caught up in detail and ultimately, it felt like "Diana Bishop learns how to read tarot cards Leggi tutto
It’s been a while since I was in that a land 😝 so I had some worries that I would struggle getting back into this world 🤓 but it was just as good as the first four in the series 👍
