SO glad I read and loved A Discovery of Witches! On first glance, I worried it may be campy, its not! What I got, was a well written experience, brainy characters, actual researched topics, and a good romance thrown in. Themes of overcoming bigotry, finding ones own magic, strength, & self acceptance, all the while kicking some asses & solving an ancient mystery and if, or what it has to do with the MC. I could rave. The show is great too!
