I'm currently reading "Shadows of Night" by Deborah Harkness, the second book in her All Hallows trilogy. I'm only about 35% in, but I like it so far.
However, I can understand the mixed reviews. The travel back in time so Diana (one of the two main characters) can learn how to be a witch has yet to happen after a third of the book. Also the search for the book Diana and Matthew are after hasn't continued, which was another reason to travel back in time. From the description it seems this book has another quest and will return to the original one in the final book.
I do like this book, but I also wish Harkness would have stuck with one quest. I hope Diana and Matthew are able to do in the past what they set out to do.
