Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

Oh what a beautiful ending. What a beautiful book.

I was confused, at first, at all the comments talking about it’s slow pacing because I thought it was paced just fine. Then that last 200 pages hit and we were suddenly in a mad sprint.

How enchanting, often funny, overall a great joy.

Susanna Clarke, the woman that you are. After this and Piranesi, I am devoted to consuming all your writing for the rest of my mortal life.
