WORTH CONSUMING!
If you enjoyed Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, you’ll want to read this to get more of Clarke’s marvelous world—if nothing else, her fantasy world-building skills are amazing, and while some people might find her Regency prose pastiche a little precious, I love it (but then, I’m a horrible geek). If the size of the novel is daunting, this is a good place to start for a taster of her work, but it may be richer for those who are already well acquainted with it.
