À propos de cet audio
From the number one New York Times best-selling author of A Discovery of Witches - now a hit TV series on AMC and BBC America and streaming on Sundance Now and Shudder - the fourth novel in the All Souls series. What does it truly take to become a vampire?
On the battlefields of the American Revolution, Matthew de Clermont meets Marcus MacNeil, a young surgeon from Massachusetts, during a moment of political awakening when it seems that the world is on the brink of a brighter future. When Matthew offers him a chance at immortality and a new life free from the restraints of his puritanical upbringing, Marcus seizes the opportunity to become a vampire. But his transformation is not an easy one, and the ancient traditions and responsibilities of the de Clermont family clash with Marcus's deeply held beliefs in liberty, equality, and brotherhood.
Fast-forward to contemporary Paris, where Phoebe Taylor - the young employee at Sotheby's whom Marcus has fallen for - is about to embark on her own journey to immortality. Though the modernized version of the process at first seems uncomplicated, the couple discovers that the challenges facing a human who wishes to be a vampire are no less formidable than they were in the 18th century. The shadows that Marcus believed he'd escaped centuries ago may return to haunt them both - forever.
A passionate love story and a fascinating exploration of the power of tradition and the possibilities not just for change but for revolution. Time's Convert, the fourth book in the All Souls series, channels the supernatural world-building and slow-burning romance that made the previous books instant best sellers to illuminate a new and vital moment in history, and a love affair that will bridge centuries.

“In Time’s Convert, Deborah Harkness, the author of A Discovery Of Witches, spins a tale of life-ever-after, romance, and family drama, and it is gloriously entertaining.” (Bustle)

Good
I enjoyed the storyline but was disappointed it was a different narrator as I was used to the way the voices were in the other books. Otherwise I enjoyed it.

Not necessary to read after the trilogy
This book is the fourth book of the “A discovery if witches” series. Fans of the trilogy, you can completely skip reading this book. The story is not as exciting and and the characters are not interesting enough to carry the story weight. Its a good listen if you lower your expectations.

Not a page-turner for me
CONTENT-The focus of this book is Marcus’ past and Phoebe’s vampiric transformation in the present. It was interesting to hear the process of the vampire side but it really didn’t have moments where I felt I needed to listen to the next chapter. It just did not have “page turning” sections like the trilogy did for me.
WORTH IT?-If the weaving of historical with drama was what drew you to these books, you will enjoy this one. If like me, you loved the magic and action of the trilogy, even though that is somewhat lacking in this book, it is still worth the time to catch up on the lives of the characters established in the trilogy and to get more details of their past.
NARRATION-The new narrator for this fourth book seems more of a true crime podcast type of narrator rather than a novel reader. She spoke at more of a whisper and a quicker pace which at times was distracting to the story rather than supporting it. While she did well with younger characters generally and with most accents, she was weak on doing an English accent which was also distracting when it came to characters established with a stronger version of that accent. I was less bothered by some of the names being pronounced differently as other reviewers were, however because her style was so different from the reader for the first three books it definitely detracted from the enjoyment of the book. In my opinion, someone more of the original reader’s style should be used for any future books.
RECORDING-The volume varied too much. I found it easier to listen to on speaker rather than through headphones.

Amazing story
The narrator is really good but the original one had more life to it. I found this one kept me thinking something was always wrong or everyone was always sceptical even in a happier part of the story. Although, she is by no means is she not amazing at what she does, I just struggled through the book trying to reimagine how the previous narrative would have sounded. I found I got losses because of this and missed part of the story.

If you’re not ready to leave the story, you’ll like this.
It’s not as good as the first three books and really isn’t necessary. It is good in that it resolves a few things and gives a snapshot into what the characters are up to after book three.
I enjoyed the flashbacks to Marcus’s early life and as always I enjoyed the history that is so masterfully told.
Solid book. Don’t expect the same action packed pace as the first three though. This one is easy listening.

An insight to Marcus Whitmore / DeClairmont
Great performance though some of the accents are different for some characters it seems. Loved finding out about how Marcus was made and how Phoebe deals with becomming a vampire.

Continuation of All Souls Trilogy
A very nice job of fleshing out Marcus's character. A decent amount of continuation on Diana and Mathew woven through the story. Very good flow and a cute addition on the All Souls Trilogy, not as much drama. Loved it, waiting for the next one!

A sign of things to come. hopefully
this feels like a good filler book. the story was not as good as the previous trilogy but feels like it's a primer for things to come, while giving some back story about Marcus. worth the read.

Another fabulous mental ride!
Another hit for Deborah Harkness! Saskia Maarleveld is a wonder at taking on the personality of each and every character. Bravo!
