This is the story of a witch who is trying to ignore her powers and be a scholar instead, and the consequences of that choice. Along the way we meet vampires and other interesting magical creatures. The story is a long one - 579 pages - and starts a bit slowly and with convolutions. I enjoyed the many revelations and eurekas throughout, although there was a bit more esoteric information about alchemy than it seemed necessary. If one can tolerate the academic feeling at the first, the story itself is entertaining, and the characters delightfully three-dimensional and endearing. Overall a nice blend of suspense, romance and fantasy.
Thanks to Lorien Forrest for her review.
