A review by jmpeck16
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

4.0

I thought this book was brilliant, if too long and a bit slow in places. I'm also not sure that all of the storylines that were opened were fully closed to my satisfaction, and to be honest, Mr. Norrell was a tough main character to root for. But the execution of the novel was beautiful, the world building incredible, the imagination undeniable. I love that this mimicked a 19th century British novel (a la Dickens/Austen), and I think it was carried off impressively.
