I finished re-reading _Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell_ again (for the…mumble…th time) last night and I thought, "I want a sequel that follows Arabella Strange and Emma Pole's political careers"

god I love that book. Which is funny, because I so very rarely enjoy books either from the Regency era or echoing its style AND YET that one sucks me in every time. Ladies of Grace Adieu alas does not follow Mrs. Strange or Mrs. Pole but is a fun addendum.

I feel like Clarke does SUCH a deft job of threading almost cosmic-horror levels of magical weirdness into the Regency pastiche, so that when Shit Gets Going in the back half you really feel the characters' world being upended.

Vinculus saying "they ARE the spell he is doing!" gives me chills every time.

It's just so well-woven, too. So many threads and they absolutely all fit together, with none out of place.

I did end up feeling sad for Mrs Brandy, whose subplot was dropped somewhat abruptly and who presumably never saw Stephen again

Alas, sometimes people leave our lives. Somewhat abruptly. She seems like the sort to have managed well enough.
