Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

Adoro los libros sobre magia, me encanta adentrarme en su mundo fantástico y soñar que es posible, que tal vez fue o es real.

Es una historia super bien contado! El marco histórico increíble y sus referencias a libros de magia y sus magos perfectas. Me transportó y lo disfruté mucho!

Solo al final me dejó con la duda del rey cuervo, regresa? Nunca se fue? Creo que me falto cerrar ese círculo, fuera de eso, un excelente libro. Altamente disfrutable y por lo tanto recomendable.

It’s so hard to rate this one. I loved it, but found it tedious. The book was way too long, but the world and characters felt so fleshed out. Overall, I found this book to be outside of my normal reading realm and I think the writing was beautiful. I wanted different things than the story gave at times, but I found it satisfying.
