I am giving ''Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell'' three and half stars. It's a fluent, well written and well imagined book but lacks character development and emotional pull, and too long by at least 200 pages. However, if there is a sequel, I will read it. Probably.
You might enjoy [[The Vanishing by Sophia Tobin]], although we had our reservations.
