If you loved Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, or alternatively, you did enjoy it but found the first third slllooooooow, but still managed to enjoy it, this is the book for you! This book is basically the YA answer to said book; faster-paced, with far better representation and more regency romance!

The language is very much Regency based, so the book doesn’t lend itself to speed-reading. The politics are also true to the era the book is based in, so expect an artful exploration of senseless racism and sexism of the time. However, the magic descriptions, the wit and the fantastically eccentric cast of characters make this book a true delight to read..
