Like "Jonathan Strange & mr Norrell", this book was something totally different than other books I've read. And it was different that Jonathan Strange, too.
And I'm not sure what I expected when I started reading this, but whatever it was, it was definitely not what it's actually about.

This book was complicated but simple. There wasn't a lot of actual action but there was a lot of things that happened.
And there was a mystery.
I had a lot of theories while reading, some of them even turned out to be true, but I have to tell that the first 3/4 of the book was really confusing, and the further I was the more I wasn't sure if I know anything about it and its characters.

The first 50? 60? pages took me a while, and then I read the last 150 in one afternoon/evening, because it felt like I was between the pages, admiring the House, the Statues, and everything that was there, reading the notebooks, looking at birds.
I just– this book is awesome and I really recommend to try it. Now excuse me I have to sit on my bed and rethink all my life choices.
