Time’s Convert – Deborah Harkness

I was so happy this book finally made it into paperback (I am one of those people that attempts to keep all her books in matching editions). The book is advertised as Matthew’s son Marcus’ story, which it is, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much of the current day continuation of Matthew and Diana’s family was also in there.

Marcus was originally born in the mid 1700s, in western Massachusetts, so it was fun to see the author play with the time frame around the American Revolution, and to see Matthew not associated with Diana. I also really liked how she contrasted Phoebe becoming a vampire in the present day with how it was when Marcus became a vampire.

I will say, I really hope she writes more books. She’s setting Matthew and Diana’s young twins up for some fun. I love young Philip’s griffon, and the struggles with Becca, being a half-vampire toddler who suddenly enjoys biting her elders. Their continuing story needs to be told.
