What Members Thought
A fantastic story about the two magicians who returned magic to England, set in the Napoleonic era, this book is written in a wonderfully dry, humourous fashion. Mr. Norrell arrives on the scene first, he is withdrawn, selfish and more than a little unpleasant. Above all, he desires to bring about the return of magic, yet among his first acts in the book is to put a stop to the theoretical magician’s society of York.
SOMEDAY I WILL FINISH THIS BOOK.
ETA: AHAHA I FINISHED IT. I really liked it, but I also kind of deeply resent it at the same time. IDEK.
