this was probably fine but i couldn’t tell bc the audiobook narrator was incredibly annoying

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
i dont really click with jane austen so idk why i thought a huge book of someone trying to imitate her with two deeply uninteresting characters as the center would work for me. it did Not. everything that had the potential to be genuinely interesting was obscured by the focus on strange and norrell themselves. if ur gonna do ALL THAT. at least be fun and sexy about it :| the last volume is the best like everyone says but um. damned with faint praise.
Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë
hmmm yeah definitely doesn’t have the same heft as emily or charlottes’ work and it’s not my cup of tea, but it’s obviously well crafted. i absolutely went in with different expectations which probably skewed my enjoyment of it but also it is. just what it says on the tin. i’m trying tenant of wildfell hall, soon, which i’ll hopefully enjoy more. i’m glad i read this, but it doesn’t make me want to immediately reread, like everything else i’ve read so far from the other brontës has.
