A Discovery of Witches

So slow to start with. I didn't even start enjoying this book until page 53. Even after that it took almost half the book to warm up.

The romance between Diana and Matthew was not convincing. While I was enjoying the story and characters by the end, the entire first part of their story just seemed off.

I also couldn't stand how dominating, controlling, and often violent Matthew was. It gave me serious domestic violence vibes. Luckily by the end of the story he had softened a bit or I might not have kept reading.
