A Discovery of Witches (NS)
I know these threads can be annoying, and I apologize for that, but am I going to like this book?
It's a pretty hefty audiobook (like, 20 CDs or so), and I'm hesitant to commit. I'm maybe 1/2 an hour into it right now and I'm not so sure.
I sometimes enjoy PNF (that's what you'd call this, right?), when it's really good. I LOVED the Seven Realms series and I'm into the Raven Boys, but I didn't care for the Grisha. Incidentally, I listened to all three of those series (well, only the first Grisha, because I didn't love it).
Advice?

Re: A Discovery of Witches (NS)
Was it @dmlk413 that was really into them? Maybe @Fabk ? They might have some more insight. It felt a little like historical fiction with some fantasy thrown in. It wasn't like BOOM! Witches or anything.

I literally just LOLed at "BOOM! Witches"
I like historic fiction. What was that giant historic fiction book about Dracula's descendants or something? Maybe the author's name was Kostova or something like that?
ETA: The Historian. Thanks, Google. I liked that one okay.

I love PNR and over the top vampire/witch/werewolfe fantasy; they have their place. But sometimes it's so in your face. This ones more subtle, less boom

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
