This book was amazing. I never managed to get into Jonathan Strange, but this book gripped me from the first pages and still hasn't let go. It's impossible to describe what it's about without spoiling it, but it's safe to say that it's a real puzzle box of a book. The puzzle is not just ours to figure out, it turns out our protagonist has memory problems that means he's almost as clueless as the reader. A masterpiece, and I hope it wish the author wins every award it's bound to be nominated for.
