Time Convert by Deborah Harkness

I loved this author's first book, The Discovery of Witches, and the subsequent books in the trilogy. I would not have thought that I would enjoy a series about vampires and witches as much as I did, and so diving into this book, which is adding to the overall story. This book begins about a year later and is told from three perspectives — 24-year-old Phoebe’s present-day transformation, or rebirth, as a vampire in Paris; Marcus’ recollections, from his warmblood youth fighting against the British at Breed’s Hill in 1775 and choice to be reborn in 1781, at age 24, at the hands — or fangs — of Matthew, rather than die of fever; and Diana’s first-person account from Les Revenants, the family’s home in south central France, where, between grading papers and doing her own research, she is busy parenting twin toddlers, Bright Borns who exhibit both vampire and witch proclivities. There are some historical aspects of the book that are interesting and a different back drop to delve into. I would probably not read another one of these, but I am not sorry that I read this one. And if I had a more fantasy oriented enjoyment, I would do more. The book is well constructed and written.
