An interesting book about the revival of magic in England in the early 1800s written in the style of that time. I enjoyed the writing and the premise, but gave up around 38%. The story definitely picked up once Strange entered the scene but it’s just too long-winded… a book to read if you have a quiet week on the beach, but I don’t have the patience otherwise.
