Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

I Was Spellbound
Revisado: 02-11-22
Jennifer Ikeda's voice transfixed my mind within the story immediately. I became caught up in the plot where I became intrigued where the DNA evidence with surrounding mystery would take me. The characters became vivid in the need to survive. The villains made want to learn magic to help with the characters rescues. And I listened again and again to learn of the imagery of scenes that transported me to another world.

What made the experience of listening to Guardians of Ga'Hoole the most enjoyable?
If you believe in the legends, the legends will come true. It doesn't matter that one does not believe in ghost. The truth will always bear fruit in the end. It doesn't matter if you are slow to know about the legends and think they are for someone else. The truth of the matter will teach us to be true to ourselves and our own heart.
What other book might you compare Guardians of Ga'Hoole to and why?
The writing of Shakespeare comes to mind. One has to be true to themselves and follow the course in life that comes to following what one feels is right.
What does Pamela Garelick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
There were a variety of characters, not just owls. The sounds of someone who is good has the sounds of good. The charcters who are not so good, bring out a voice of that evil.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I had a hard time stopping, even to fix lunch. I wanted to know what would happen next as the plot thickened as if it had the layers of a burley-thick-multilayered-meat sandwich.
Any additional comments?
I love the way the story takes the mind on a wonderful adventure...it shows that because we are born in a family with less than desirable circumstances, we have the ability to change those circumstances. We have free will. We have a choice in how we wish to live our lives.
