Xavier Ashe reviewed Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
Review of 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
What an absolutely delightful read. You get transported to the age of the British gentlemen. I kept thinking while reading this book, "this is what we need in the US, more class". Yes, yes, the book had magicians, faeries, and all that stuff, too. The story was wondering, though well done. It does drag out a couple of times. Many of the places that I think the author was expecting an OMG moment from readers, I had already worked out in my head. Overall, it kept my interest, I loved the 19th century demeanor, and had a wonderful ending (while I did find some of the book predictable, the ending was not one of them.
