Time Convert A Novel Deborah Harkness 9780399564512 Books

I was so excited for this book to come out. I even read the first couple of chapters when it appeared on my Kindle after midnight. I loved the trilogy so much and re-read it recently so that everything was fresh in my mind. I loved Marcus. I couldn't wait to find out how his relationship with Phoebe developed from the meeting at Sotheby's when he bought Diana and Matthew's miniatures. I was beyond impatient to read how their epic love story unfolded. Finally, when my Kindle was at about 85%, I realized it wasn't happening. Honestly, 36+ hours later, I am still really deflated and upset about it. Actually, as I write this, I'm getting riled up again, and more depressed. I mean, when else will we find out all those details? Not in another book, right? We don't even see them as a couple until the end. None of the care taken building Matthew and Diana's relationship is there. Their connection is so deep and layered and romantic and intricate. Not so with Marcus and Phoebe. Why do Phoebe and Marcus love each other? What was so deep, everlasting and special about their relationship that convinced Phoebe to turn into a vampire? It's like a whole BIG section is missing from the book. And, outside of the missing relationship, there's also no real path or connection for Marcus to the present after New Orleans -- we're just left in the dark after his chastisement for the next 200+ years to modern day. And we really know nothing about Phoebe except for a few comments about painting and ballet and her upper-crust upbringing. Wouldn't it have been interesting to actually read about her telling her family Marcus is a vampire and oh, she's going to turn into one instead of meeting them when they already know and she's saying goodbye/goodnight before the process begins?
I feel terrible complaining because the book is beautifully written and the attention to history and detail is phenomenal. I was counting the days and minutes until this released. And I loved, loved, loved the twins and glimpses into Matthew and Diana's continuing life. Maybe this book tried to satisfy too many themes? On another note, I love Gallowglass and want him to find his true love -- but now that I've been disappointed by Marcus and Phoebe, will he get a chance? He so deserves it. But will the same lack of attention happen?? That's what I'm afraid of! I'm going to give myself a little while to cool off and read it again. Maybe I missed something?

Time Convert A Novel Deborah Harkness 9780399564512 Books Reviews

I gave 3 stars and I feel like that is generous. After reading all the books that came before this one, it seemed rather flat.
If you’re expecting another great book similar the All Souls Trilogy (in terms of storyline, action and character development) you will likely be somewhat disappointed. The book doesn’t really get interesting until around page 200. The back story on Marcus is at times quite tedious and feels a bit like a vanity piece for the author to write about the American and French Revolutionary periods. All that said, the last half of the book is entertaining and a fairly fun read. It was interesting to read about Phoebe’s transformation and revisit with Diana and Matthew a couple of years post-Book of Life. However, there’s really not much of a compelling storyline here and the author struggles to pull together 3 story ideas into one cohesive book. If you loved Shadow of Night, you are more likely to enjoy this book, given the focus on historical references and atmosphere.

I’m still a big fan of Deborah Harkness, but this book lacked the sparkle of her other brilliant efforts.
Loved all souls--which grabbed you from the beginning. In this book, nothing happens. We already knew phoebe planned to become a vampire. And she did. We already knew Marcus was in the revolutionary war and lived in Nola. Now we know more but care less. This author is better than this series of historical vignettes. Maybe something will happen in the next book, but I won't buy it the day it comes out...will wait for reviews. This is all background info and no story.
I loved author Deborah Harkness’ previous trilogy and was excited about this new work. I eagerly read it and quickly remembered the characters and the basic story, even though it has been awhile since I last read about them. This book, Time’s Convert, lacks focus, and I kept feeling as though I was being set up to read a multi-story arc that wouldn’t make sense until the final story. Those are my least favorite types of series; I prefer series that engage readers in character development and new adventures rather than piecemeal tales. This book has three partial stories, none of which are really very rewarding by book’s end. Phoebe becomes a vampire, Marcus reveals his human past and very early vampire years and Matthew and Diana’s twins begin to develop real personalities. The Phoebe/Marcus story could have been a good book or the twins could have been a good book but this was not enough anything to be a really good story. I remain hungry for more
