Amazing work of balance between the magical and mysterious world we're taken into, by a narrator that knows almost as little as we do, and the confident line tying it all together and taking us to a satisfying conclusion
Shares very little with Jonathan Strange, apart from that focus on the frontier between the real world and the magical world (though this time, we spend more time on the other side of the border) but equally fascinating
Beautiful writing and construction (or should I say architecture ?)
My only complaint is that Susanna Clarke should write faster
