What Risingshadow readers think about this book

10 / 10

Somewhere I've read about this book, that there was not one dull page in this book - and I can only agree with that. Which is most astonishing, as this book has got 1006 pages (at least, in my edition). As it's such a rich novel, I really don't know where to start and describe only a few keywords:
Footnotes: sometimes separate stories in itself - not annoying at all but a great pleasure.
Mix of history and fantasy: absolutely compelling.
Characters: next to Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell the author has created some persons with loving detail (regardless whether it's a good or bad guy).
What a shame that it's over - I would have liked to read on and on ...
