jsant 's review for:

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
3.0

I think I wanted to like this book a lot more than I actually did. Likely an audio book was not the best medium for it as often the footnotes were hard to follow.

This is a VERY detailed very entangled historical fiction novel where magic, fairies and magicians are part of early 19th century England. I found myself taking a while to get into the story, and needing to re-read sections a couple times. The story was interesting, but just not my favorite.
