katie: I take full responsibility for this one. I somehow missed A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness the first time around. My interest was piqued after seeing a trailer for the new series featuring Matthew Goode. Here. Have some eye candy:
Katie: Anyway, I messaged Patty and was like, “we may have a contender.”
When I read this one, I felt like the lone voice hating on it. Turns out I’m just a trendsetter/ahead of my time … it might still be one of my favorite scathing reviews I wrote!
I’ll have to look it up!

Looks like it was CBR IV, might have been hard to find!
Thanks, Jen K!
Ha! I also wrote a scathing review for this absolute blahness that I ended up being really pleased with.
I wrote one for CBR4 too. I had to look it up. It was not kind.
Yay! So glad I sent you the book – this was totally worth the five minutes it took me to track down the trilogy, convert it into .mobi and e-mailing it to you. Excellent snark.
Thanks, Malin. Your contribution to the cause was much appreciated!
Oh god these books were AWFUL. I read all 3 because a very good friend recommended them and I still for some reason took recommendations from her after!
