A Discovery of Witches has been everyday in my mind and heart for I believe almost 4 years now. It's one of those rare books that has so many details it feels real, it's rich and detailed; as for the romance I would not describe it as angst, but more as a mutual discovery and acceptance. The TV show is also amazing. This story means very much for me, it raised my standards for a romance (even in real life) and for what I should expect from a story. Wonderful details that are just mindblowing to consider after finishing the trilogy. An all time favourite. What I feel for this series is truly a deep, rich and powerful everlasting love.

A Discovery of Witches has a 'real time reading companion' guide! (it's a free kindle download) The book starts on the 18th September I believe, and there's a calendar in the guide that shows you what chapters happen on what day, with some background information as you go along! It's a really fun way to read it and I definitely recommend it.

Yes to A Discovery of Witches!! Love that entire series. Can't wait for the next book. Also I highly recommend the TV show. Can be dark and spooky, but also the romance is great. I will forewarn you: I got Twilight vibes from the first book. It goes away after the first book, but still the main guy lead is uhhhh not the best in the first book. BUT the rest of the characters, the setting, the historical fantasy elements (ESPECIALLY in the second book!!) make this series a fantastic read.

So Discovery of Witches...the first is very paranormal fantasy in genre, the second is more of a historical fiction fantasy and the third has a little more sci fi feels with fantasy. There are so many characters to love. I've met the author and she is fantastic herself. She brings her academic background into the books and it is fabulous.

The romance is oh, SOOO GOOD!!! The main characters are my favourite characters and couple EVER! As has already been said in this thread, the series starts with a paranormal romance, then goes into historical, paranormal romance, then sci-fi, paranormal romance. The romance is in every book and it only gets more and more intense. The 4th book, Time’s Convert focuses on different characters, that appear in the original trilogy but they have their own story, along with the main characters from the trilogy being side characters. I’m SOOOOOO excited for you to read it! It hardly gets any buzz on booktube and it’s my favourite book EVER!

Hi, I also have to chime in to express my love for A Discovery of Witches! I first picked it up in 2013 after college and I finally had free time for leisure reading. Book 2, Shadow of Night, is my favorite in the series. I was a Theatre major so the historical Elizabethan setting was really exciting to read. Anyway, after reading the series physically, I listened to the audiobooks. The narrator, Jennifer Ikeda, does an excellent job with all the characters. Highly recommend!

Yes yes please read the wheel of time series!! PS the first book is very similar to lord of the rings but the story grows so much from the second book. And in this book women are more powerful than men so there is a bit of reverse sexism and that could be a bit annoying and frustrating at times but apart from that the plot is so goood. I really hope you enjoy it tbh😅

It might be a good lighter read between some of the more serious fantasies in your list. Happy fall! 🧡💛🧡

The characters and the world is truly amazing, you will fall in love, you will heart broken, sad, happy but at the end you realize all this had to happen to get the ending not only the main couple deserve but everyone.
