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

funny hopeful mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This book was a trudge at some parts, but Ckarke's writing is beautiful and she has a great ability to craft a story. Im of the opinion that she is uniquely gifted at writing indiginiety to place. In this book, the connection to the land of Britian is such a powerful motif, and the contrast between to two main characters is very interesting.
