Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

This has been on my TBR for over 9 years and I've always been put off because I knew how slow it would be...and I was right!

This is incredibly slow, meandering and some chapters are even boring and pointless, however I never wanted to stop with it, I was swept away in the history and magic of the story.

I will say that I really put a lot of my enjoyment down to the new narration by Richard Armitage, it's brilliant and I know I wouldn't have made it all the way through without listening to it on audio.
