With all the footnotes, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is not well suited for an audiobook. I moaned and groaned about the length while reading it, but I'm glad I read it.

I've read the whole series, and have now just started Deeply Odd, the latest release. I think as a whole the series is inconsistent, and hasn't really delivered on the promise of the first two or three books, veering off into rather strange territory particularly with the 5th one, Odd Apocalypse. Still, I am persevering

He wrote these over a fairly long stretch of time, so that might explain some of the inconsistency. I've only read the first 3 and I found that the novelty (or the oddness) wore off pretty quickly. I guess I should catch up with the new books.
