Great for information
Lovely background about All Souls trilogy. A bit repetitive at times. I missed the referenced PDF. I could not find it anywhere in my mail/amazon/kindle accounts.

Keeps saying ‘refer to pdf that comes with this audiobook’ but where is this?
Apart from the mysterious missing pdf it’s fine, pretty interesting and adds to understanding of process of creating All Souls world.

Great historical roots
As a last read following Harkness’s trilogy a d times convert it is a necessary accompaniment to the stories . My only is the pronouncement of babes by the narrator.. Burghley, Meridiana, Huguenot etc etc

A curate’s egg
The interview was interesting, and some of the articles informative, although mostly they rehashed the novels. I was hoping for more background and less quoting of the trilogy. Several entries are repetitive- did anyone proofread the John Dee section? How many times do we have to be told that Kelley persuaded Dee to share their wives because ’an angel told him’? The inclusion of the summaries was a mistake - they add nothing to the book.
The main narrator has a warm voice, but it is spoiled by excruciating pronunciation mistakes - not only in French (‘Auri-lac’) and Italian (e.g., she consistently mispronounces Michele, saying it as though it were in French), but also in English (e.g. pronouncing archangel as arCH-angel, Lord Burghley as Lord Berg-lee, and many other such lazy errors). She even mispronounces character names like Verin. I wish Jennifer Ikeda had narrated all but the author sections. As it is, I switched to the Kindle version.

Everything I dreamed of!
I was on the fence with this book for a long timw because I read less convincing reviews. However, this exceeded my wildest dreams! Full of fascinating information about the history, occult, architecture, wine, food and books the world of All Souls is weaved of. This satisfied my curiosity and gave me locations to visit, wines to sample & books to read to dive deeper into the world of Matthew & Diana. Heartily recommended for witchy history geeks with taste on the more expensive side.

Interesting and informative.
I loved how this book explained various things by the narrators and the author. I liked the accompanying PDF showed different things within the All Souls books as well.

A complete let down.
Don't bother, a complete was of time. It goes on an on and on... I thought it would be interesting but just found it very tedious and in the end gave up.
