A Discovery of Witches

Terrible book. Lots of basic mistakes made by the author that made the story drag on and on! What purpose did the she have to describe every single meal Diana ate or every time she slept?! Good writers have a purpose for every seemingly random situation in a book, and I kept trying to figure out what purpose she had for Diana's culinary narration. Finally realized that there was absolutely no purpose for it other than than Harkness's inexperience as a writer.

The romance in the book between the two main characters was cringy at most. Also, the book sets itself to build up to some intense climax to happen at the end of the book, and something did happen, but it was really disappointing. I don't know if I am being too harsh but given the amount of buzz around this book and the fact that they made a TV show about it I expected to be at least a decent read.
