“A Discovery of Witches” by Deborah Harkness

This book was decent, but I read reviews for the remaining books in the trilogy, and I won’t bother reading them. People who disliked the book objected to the same things I did.... much too much unnecessary description, such as several pages detailing how Diana got dressed for her vampire date. The POV treatment is also very odd, shifting back and forth between 3rd person and first person. I did find the references to alchemy and alchemical drawings interesting. There definitely are some interesting ideas in the book but the writing style leaves much to be desired.
