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

challenging slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

on the whole the story needed the scaffolding it established, but it was tiresome to get through to finally see the conclusion. i'm different now for having read it, and i found the conclusion really satisfying, but i wish literally anyone else in the book had been the primary focus instead of gilbert norrell
