Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

4.0

Finally read this book that's been on my shelves for years. Loved the setting in the 1800s. I needed a little bit of time to get into it, but once I was it was amazing and I couldn't stop reading. I wasn't sure where the book was going once I was past the first half of the book, but the plot didn't disappoint me at all. I enjoyed reading how everything fell into place in the end.

This book is about magic. I was very curious to see how the magic would be portrayed in this book, being historical and set in the 1800s. The way the writer wrote and described the magic, I could perfectly imagine how it would've been. Absolutely beautiful, eerie and mysterious.

This book is quite a brick, but it's a great read to pick up.
