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.

The story itself is 5 stars - I’ve read it before. Unfortunately I believe I was sent a used book (or returned one). The edges of the cover is damaged and back cover has stain.

    From glimpses into Marcus’s backstory to Phoebe’s path to becoming a vampire to the twins growing marvels and woes (and Apollo!), this story intermingles the past, present, and future to perfection.

    Count on Deborah Harkness’s thorough and compelling retelling of historical events (with her characters seamlessly woven into them) to make it all even more lifelike, and it gives us yet another compelling All Souls book, along with present-day events that make us love the Bishop-Clermont family even more with each passing page.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment, to be Honest
    Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2023

    Deborah Harkness' "All Souls Trilogy" was so good that I simply could NOT put it down! As a result, I spent a three-day weekend doing absolutely nothing but gorging on a well-written, exciting series of books that were a joy to indulge in.

    Expecting the complex plot, excitement, and suspense to continue with the fourth book in the series, I immediately bought "Time's Convert," even though the price ($17 CAD for the Kindle version) seemed a little high.

    I'm sad to say I was tremendously disappointed. To me, this book read flat from the get-go, and I kept reading only because I thought it simply must pick up at some point. It did not. The plotline seemed like an afterthought that hadn't really even inspired the author. It simply droned on to a placid and rather boring ending, and I was left wondering why the price point for this particular book was set so high.

    Nevertheless, I'm not giving up on this author simply because one book didn't live up to my expectations. Based on that wonderfully engaging trilogy, I plan to read more of Deborah Harkness' books before I make any rash decisions.

    The Novel Time’s Convert, by Deborah Harkness is the next book to read after you have read the All Souls Trilogy by the same author. It is the continuation of the story, but it also features the story of one of the main characters of AllSouls, and goes into depth on his life, how he became a vampire and all his life entails. It also shares how the family is doing, as time is moving along, the ones who featured in All Souls, Diana and Matthew, and their twins. This book, Times Convert is also a thoroughly enjoyable read, so don’t miss it, after you take in the first 3 books in the series, All Souls Trilogy. Happy Reading.

    Huge fan of this series and was dying to read this next in the series. I love how Harkness can weave vampires, witches, daemons, basically all fairy folk into a history lesson. The interweaving of the American and French revolutions into Marcus and Phoebe’s live story as well as Matthew and Diana’s was clutch. I can’t wait to see the what happens next. My only quibble about this book was that it ended so abruptly. I can’t wait for more.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020

    I’ve read all of the books in the All Souls Trilogy. It’s a wonderful series, and before diving into this new book, I’m glad that I’d read them.

    In my opinion, Time’s Convert is not a standalone. It had been a while since I’d read the other enjoyable books in the series. During those journeys, I recall feeling almost overwhelmed with the details. . . sometimes in a good way, sometimes not. Entire paragraphs deserved their own place on the history shelves, the prose was wonderful, the characters well-drawn, the plots tight. Sometimes I felt the books extremely intellectual, but I had bravely plowed forward reading hoping that some of the knowledge might stick in my wee brain.

    My highly anticipated journey with Time’s Convert ended with mixed feelings. The good news first. This book earns five stars for its intense research. I’m positive Ms. Harkness did her homework and worked her ass off getting the details of the timing, settings, events, and real-life historical characters correct. I felt in safe hands and not misguided into a complete fantasy world. Vampire, witches, and daemons aside, of course. Characters like Thomas Paine, Ben Franklin, and Lafayette, for example, all have dialogue, but fictitious though that may be, I felt good that the author wasn’t leading me too far astray and plucking stuff out of the air solely for entertainment. (Unlike The Crown on Netflix which I really truly thought was not wholly fiction. Is it? Angry here and digressing).
    To the tougher part of my review, even though I’m American, the sections on the Revolutionary War did not interest me. During these scenes, primarily the middle section of the book, the plot felt tossed aside and the read lagged. There were so many characters, names, towns, homes, events dropped, I needed a chart. Some of those characters had their own arcs and I found I just did not care.

    It was during this middle section where I found myself wondering what the book was even about. Where was Ms. Harkness going? It felt like a bunch of separate stories that bumped into one another for no purpose. Eventually I realized that the book was about the tale of Phoebe and Marcus and their vampire becomings. Phoebe’s transition was in real time, and Marcus, because he is an old vampire, is told in flashback. Interspersed between Phoebe’s grand awakening and difficulties, and Marcus’s really long backstory (how many towns did we follow him through during this book? How many years? Too many to count), there were the De Clermonts – the main family of vampires as well as the main witch character – Diana. But those wonderful characters were way secondary. They had plots and problems too, but they were side stories and led nowhere. And the thing was, I love those characters. Every single time Ysabeau enters a room I get excited. Diana’s magic is beyond cool. Baldwin is way interesting. I want to sail with Gallowglass, or at least drink with him. Had I not read the other books, I would have been totally lost on who all these people were and their relevance. I imagine Ms. Harkness had to decide about whom to write for, and she chose.

    I have tremendous respect for this author and what she’s accomplished and will most likely read the next installment. Or anything else she writes, for that matter.

    While the story was simply mesmerizing, the formatting could have been better to make the story easier to follow for example with each new chapter put the character whose POV is being addressed would have helped a lot and not just a day and number of the month but the year as well so the reader could recognize when they were back in the present time, I ended up spending more time than warranted trying to figure out whose POV the chapter was about and it became annoying and took away from my thrill of the story.

    I really enjoyed the parts with Diana, Mathew and the children.

    Marcus's recollections from his past are fascinating and Phoebe's first days as a vampire are amazingly written.

    So much history so little time from the perspective of this human but I guess a vampire would say so much history lived through one timeless life.
