I know the allegations published by Tortoise Media are making many, many people think twice about the author. I can't deny i love this book, and I can't blame anyone for refusing to pick it up. I might receive Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel to anyone who wants something with a somewhat similar feel, and a much less divisive author.

It was a pretty quick read for me. When I was reading I struggled to put it down. I haven’t experienced that with a book for awhile. I couldn’t predict the twists the book took and I loved the creativity. It was easy to get wrapped up in the mythos and legends in the book.

it was well written just a looong read for me. the characters and events were quite interesting I grew quite fond of some of the characters, and you really did feel the time passing, events that happened weeks ago in the book really did feel like they'd happened weeks ago.

after i'd gotten half way through I wasn't going to let myself dnf it, but it really did  feel like an accomplishment to have finished it :p
