After 32 hrs of slow story we get to a completely disappointing end. I am NOT a fan. I say not worth the time.
SPOILER ALERT
I'm sure, I'm misspelling names because I listened to it on CD instead of reading it.
So after all they've been through, Strange and his wife don't even get to be together. WTF! I feel cheated. They were happy. Then she gets abducted and Strange ends up not with Arabella not with Flora but with Norrell. Andrew described this as an anti-love story. And after all of those details and footnotes, we don't even find out what happens to lady Pole or the lady who was in love with Steven Black. She said that she would go anywhere with him, why couldn't she go to Fairy.
SO HERE'S HOW I SAY IT ENDS
Strange gives up doing magic in the public eye and the darkness dissipates. He and Arabella go to their old home and life continues as before except that strange never takes his wife for granted again. Norrell is exposed as an ass and he generally shunned. He returns to the country in disgrace and spends the rest of his life alone with his books. Chilgamess and Vinculus become the worlds greatest magicians. The lady who was in love with Steven Black goes to be his queen in Fairy. THE END
