Juliette’s journal provided a deeper insight into her state of mind at the start of the series, but again there were no new elements for the reader. I’m glad I read the short stories ( Destroy Me and Fracture Me), but I was disappointed that there were no dramatic revelations from these two important characters. Juliette’s journal was interesting, but we’ve read some of it before, and most (if not all) of it features in the fourth novel in the series. While it was interesting to read sections of the story with Warner and Adam as narrators, I didn’t think the book contributed much to the series.

Interview Terrace View Asylum, DelawareJANUARY 1967"So, Jamie, you've had a few weeks to adjust to Terrace View. The arms shown in the Manesse manuscript come from the imagination of a 14th-century artist, drawing on the figure of the Red Knight in Parzival, and have no heraldic connection with Wolfram. However, the evidence is circumstantial and not without problems - there are at least four other places named Eschenbach in present-day Bavaria, and Wolframs-Eschenbach was not part of Bavaria in Wolfram's time. This and a number of geographical references have resulted in the present-day Wolframs-Eschenbach, previously Obereschenbach, near Ansbach in Bavaria, being officially designated as his birthplace. In Parzival he talks of wir Beier ("we Bavarians") and the dialect of his works is East Franconian. There are no historical documents which mention him, and his works are the sole source of evidence. As a Minnesinger, he also wrote lyric poetry. Wolfram von Eschenbach was a German knight and poet, regarded as one of the greatest epic poets of his time. Although she was never convinced about marriage because her sister Eliza experienced a broken marriage, she nonetheless married William Godwin, the father of her second child, Mary. As a consequence of the resulting depression she felt, she tried to commit suicide twice. The father of her first daughter, Fanny, left her. Mary Wollstonecraft was born 27 April 1759. In 1947, Freudians suggested that Wollstonecraft hated men she greatly admired and feared creatures that seemed to her capable of doing everything. Although a few parodies of this work were written, the majority of women, especially in the young American Republic, agreed with her. One of these critics, Aaron Burr, loved Vindication of the Rights of Women and raised his daughter according to Wollstonecraft’s priorities. Many critics interpreted her writings in several ways. As a result, it was widely read and translated into several languages, and Wollstonecraft is said to have been the first woman to address feminist issues. The book was controversially discussed initially because it was considered radical and revolutionary. In 1792 Mary Wollstonecraft published A Vindication of the Rights of Women. The story finally swung around and started focusing on the actual, Book of Life (solid pun, right?). Yet again, you can honestly skip whole chapters and have missed nothing. Well, I’m neither happy nor sad this is over. But the real threat to their future has yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for Ashmole 782 and its missing pages takes on even more urgency. At Matthew’s ancestral home, Sept-Tours, they reunite with the beloved cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches-with one significant exception. In The Book of Life, Diana and Matthew time-travel back from Elizabethan London to make a dramatic return to the present-facing new crises and old enemies.
