Mihaela’s Reviews > Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell > Status Update

It's official: Jonathan Strange became one of my favourite book characters. I don't know if this is accurate of me to say, but the love between him and his wife Arabella reminds me of Dracula and Elisabeta 🥹

Will I finish this book or will this book finish me?

I cannot explain how much I LOVE Jonathan Strange. He's so iconic, a feminist, the way he appreciates women and treats people like equals. A walking green flag. As for Mr Norrell, he's strange, unique, weird and annoying. Sometimes he has his interesting and funny moments, but overall he's annoying because of his simplicity. Looking forward to the book club meeting, because I feel like it's going to be interesting

Well, this is going to be a wild ride 🌪️🎢

It's been a while since I read such a long book. But, it captures my curiosity and the pictures on some of the pages make the book charming. But the footnotes are way too long

Mr Norrell is definitely a very interesting individual. A group of magicians underestimate his magical abilities. Mr Norrell showing them that he is indeed a magician like the badass he is makes them give up their gift of magic. Then, he reads a book so nonchalantly while listening to two gentlemen talking about his state. Well, I'll be damned 👀
