Review by Booklist Review

This book is not about the Christian holiday; rather, it is a compendium of story details for Harkness' All Souls trilogy (starting with A Discovery of Witches, 2011). Fans will appreciate the broad mix of illustrations, many custom made for the book. The guide begins with a lengthy Q&A with the author, focusing on her writing journey. After a thorough summary of each title in the trilogy, the preponderance of this work is a thematic encyclopedia: characters (A-Z), organizations, magic, science, alchemy, decorative arts, lifestyles, and translations of terms. A bibliography concludes the volume. Readers can consider this book as the author's comprehensive reference tool, and it may be in demand with the release of Time's Convert (2018), a new title set in the world of All Souls.--Lesley Farmer Copyright 2018 Booklist
