Summary
From the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches, now a major Sky TV series, a novel about what it takes to become a vampire.
From human to vampire ...
Marcus Whitmore was made a vampire in the eighteenth century. Over two hundred years later, he finds himself in love with Phoebe Taylor, a human who decides to become a vampire herself.
But her transformation will prove as challenging now as it was for Marcus when he first encountered Matthew de Clermont, his sire.
While Phoebe is secreted away, Marcus relives his own journey from the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, through the treachery of the French Revolution to a bloody finale in New Orleans. His belief in liberty, equality and brotherhood challenged at every stage by the patriarchy of the de Clermonts.
What will he and Phoebe discover in one another when they are finally reunited at Les Revenants, beneath the watchful gaze of Matthew and his wife, Diana Bishop?
Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Deborah Harkness returns to the spellbinding world she created in A Discovery of Witches and, through the prism of an unconventional love story, explores the power of tradition and the endless possibilities for change.

Lacked something essential for me.
No plot twist, not enough gluing it together.
Disappointing after her trilogy, which was a firm favourite.

Should have left it as a trilogy.
I love the All Souls trilogy and have listened to the stories more than once. I finally got around to Time’s Convert and I wish I hadn’t bothered. It’s an okay book and would undoubtedly have been better if the previous narrator had read this story too. Pretty much my only criticism of Audible is frequent lack of continuity of narrator in a series of books. Does this book add anything to the trilogy? Not in my opinion. It feels like Deborah Harkness decided to squeeze out another book to cash in on the success of the trilogy, which is disappointing. When listening to the trilogy, I looked forward to switching on the story each day. With Time’s Convert, I was checking how much was left each day. Definitely not her best. Sometimes you have to finish on a high note and accept that a series has run its course.

Sadly the performance lets this down
For fans of All Souls Trilogy this follows on the story one year on. There are three main story lines 1) the life and trails associated with raising two special children in the Bishop - Clairmont house (my favourite as it’s quite funny!). 2) Historic flashbacks to Marcus’ human life and meeting Matthew, fabulous American history. And 3) Phoebe’s journey of change from a human to vampire. The performance by Saskia Maarleveld, isn’t great, she speaks very quickly (so much so that you can change the speed slightly slower and it still makes sense!) and her accents are poor...(sorry)!

Ok
it was ok but I didn't think it was as good as discovery of witches. the story teller had different voices which I found hard. why not use the original narrater.

A worthwhile extension to the storytelling
A change in narrator from the first 3 books was initially jarring and there was a noticeable difference at times. The story of Marcus and development of Matthew and Diana’s stories dovetailed nicely. Well worth listening to and now eagerly awaiting the next instalment where we hopefully watch the children grow (both vampire and little weaver-vamp toddlers).

Struggling .......
Ive stopped mid way twice as I’m struggling to stay focused, I really wish it had been narrated by Jennifer Ikeda like the previous books I feel it’s important to keep The continuity when it’s the same characters . I don’t want to give up as I adore this collection of stories. Had it been another author I would have stopped already , I will wait a few weeks and try again but Jennifer was incredible in her delivery of the other three books a hard act to follow.... I’m just finding myself easily distracted, the narrator isn’t holding my attention sorry 😞

Story is getting old
I enjoy the series but I feel that Dianna who started off as such an awesome character is just a very boring housewife who depends on her hero husband. It’s more about the sex and passion then story and it feels like the story has lost its way

Underwhelmed
Such a shame that the narrator isn’t the sane as the last 3 books. They also have a nasal-y voice that dips down at the end of every sentence which makes the book difficult to listen to in all honesty. Also some names are mis-pronounced and accents are not the same as in the previous books. You cannot be Upper Class English in one book and American in the next. Nonetheless, Deborah Harkness has written some lovely engaging books!
