Publisher's Summary
'The Black Bird Oracle deftly explores the nexus of memory, history, and parenthood - the magic, pain, and promises mothers pass onto their children. Harkness's lush prose makes a fantastical world real enough to touch' JODI PICOULT
Diana Bishop journeys to the darkest places within herself - and her family history - in the highly anticipated fifth novel of the beloved Number One Sunday Times bestselling All Souls series.
The first shadows fall on a Friday afternoon when a single, dying raven lands on the pavement in front of Diana Bishop, harbinger of an invitation that reads, 'It's time you came home, Diana'.
Diana is a witch and scholar; her husband Matthew Clairmont, a vampire. Their intense love for one another awoke the dark powers within her and dissolved the Covenant between the three species - Witch, Daemon and Vampire - that live alongside humans. Now, the governing Congregation has decided it must test the magical powers of their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Becca. Concerned with their safety, Diana decides to forge a different path for her family's future and travels to Ravenswood, the Proctor family home.
There, Diana begins a new era, becoming her great aunt Gwyneth's pupil in higher magic. It's time to confront her family's past - and her own, inescapable desire for greater power.
Number One bestselling author Deborah Harkness returns to her beloved All Souls world with a triumphant novel that sweeps back to the Salem Panic and illuminates Diana's family history in new and thrilling ways.

wow
i cant wait for book 6 and 7...what a Legacy- not just these books in life but in the story. dianna bishop is in part, all of us. i can tell the author knows what life is like, Marriage and children. to be an Academic and a wife and mother...and gifted with power must complicate anyones world. i love the play between charactors who love and hate the way only family can. i love reading but having a toddler means listening. thank you for giving me this world again.

Continued great story telling
Really enjoyable continuation of the world of Diana Bishop and her family. The story wasn’t as long or complex as the previous All Souls trilogy but still highly entertaining. Good blend of familiar characters and exploring new aspects of this world. It feels like the first book in a series so hopefully there will be more books to follow!
Narration is excellent as usual 👏🏻

Slow to start
Unlike previous books it took me long while to get hooked. But once hooked, It was up to the same wonderful standard. .
A few annoying errors, but this seems to be the norm these days in book editing. Looking forward to tur next book.

The Oracle foretold
Once again Deb, has captured her audience in a tale of light and dark and every shade in between.
Brilliantly written, carefully thought out, her characters bloom.

Blackbird Oracle
I was very disappointed with this book it felt as though there was no flow from the last book and bringing Satu in working for the congregation and not having Agatha as head of the congregation as she was and saying Diana didn’t bind Satu’s powers properly is confusing .
Also there were a few coincidences or Easter eggs to Outlander
