Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell was ultimately marvelous in writing and world-building. After I finished the book I went to find out anything I could about the author. Sadly she's only written a few books and just these short stories about the magicians' world. I hope she writes more! I listened to the audiobook version by Davina Porter and Simon Prebble, who were enchanting narrators. They were able to bring all of the different characters to life in a smooth flow of story. The only reason that I didn't give this book five stars was because it wasn't longer! It would have been great to hear more about Strange and Norrell, but learning about their mystical world was equally as interesting. It was such a fun read! It's definitely a must-read for fans of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.
