Status Updates From Jonathan Strange & il Signo...

About 1/3 of this book is absolutely perfect, inspiring and ticking all of my boxes. Another 1/3 is quite good, enjoyable and creative enough. The last 1/3, however, is so dry and dull and tiresome that it weighs the rest of this considerable novel down by a not inconsiderable amount.

Mr. Norrell both is and isn't the introverted grump I expected. I guess he isn't introvertedly grumping in the way I thought an introverted grump should 🤭
