I loved A Discovery of Witches (the 1st book of the All Souls Trilogy). The first time I read Shadow of Night (the 2nd book of the Trilogy), it was very tough to read. The pacing, especially the first part of the book was really difficult to follow. There were so many characters! But after the first few chapters, it began to pick up. The 2nd time I read the book, the first few chapters made a lot more sense and the pacing didn't bother me at all. The author Deborah Harkness puts so much details into the books, that it takes at least 2 reads just to absorb it all. The more you read, the more you notice how wonderful the plotlines are. Bottom line: don't get discouraged. It is well worth it. I loved the Trilogy! The 1st and 2nd book are my favorites. These books got me reading again. Now I want to read more fiction!
