These vamps are in a league of their own. (Baseball pun intended.)
The Big Picture On the surface, it might seem as though A Discovery of Witches draws heavily from the human-vampire romances that preceded it. That assessment's only half-true. Deborah Harkness, author of the New York Times bestselling All Souls trilogy upon which A Discovery of Witches is based, didn't read any vampire literature before penning her novels. But her creativity was sparked in 2008 after seeing the sheer wealth of paranormal romances adorning bookshelves.
Who Are the de Clermonts in ‘A Discovery of Witches’? The Cullen family's loving dynamic is one of the Twilight franchise's highlights. Nobody expects the vampires to be the nicest family on the block. Unsurprisingly, because Hollywood cuts things for time, it's an aspect the film series underutilized. Each Cullen has their own backstory and personality, and the unit they form remains unconditionally supportive.
Ysabeau and Philippe, for example, share a three-thousand-year love story. Baldwin's prone to sibling jealousy but aims to protect his family at any cost, which means playing by the rules. Louisa, who died decades before the story's events, was banished for carrying a disease that makes its vampiric carriers mindless murderers rather than distinguished thinkers.
Since Diana staunchly remains by Matthew's side and accepts him warts and all, Ysabeau has to grant Diana's will a modicum of respect. She also can't begrudge her son's joy, or ignore a kinship with Diana when the younger woman tells Ysabeau about her parents' brutal murder. "Make them pay," Ysabeau advises. "It doesn't take the pain away, but it helps." That line doesn't condone Ysabeau's massacres, but it casts them into understanding.
