Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell can really reward the patient reader, which is not my usual reading persona. But the carefully drawn main characters, exceptional use of the historical period as context, and beautiful dark writing all came together in a quite memorable and sustaining and surprising way in this epic fantastic novel.
