I love how the plot blurb for JSAMN makes it sound like it鈥檚 about an epic struggle between two powerful magicians, when really it鈥檚 more like two nerds get into a very petty academic feud and accidentally save the day together through imprecise naming of spell targets while having no clue what鈥檚 really going on, also one of them eats a mouse and goes mad
Saw the show first, then listened to the audiobook, then bought the book. The show is probably the best book -> show adaptation I've ever seen and both are so good!!
This is great! Thanks @karnivil for sharing your art! And welcome to the fandom :)
And on that morning, all of Venice awoke to see the tower of everlasting night make its way swiftly across the ocean. Within the tower, they all knew, was the English Magician: Johnathan Strange.
Here we go fellas, I bring you another fandom I'm fixated upon! :D Love me a scruffy academic slowly losing their mind in pursuit of knowledge.
From the book Johnathan Strange And Mr. Norrell by Susana Clarke
If I were you, Mr Lascelles, I would speak more guardedly. You鈥檙e in the north now. Our laws were made by the Raven King. Our towns and abbeys were founded by him. Mr Norrell鈥檚 house was built by him. He鈥檚 in our minds and hearts and speech. And he鈥檚 coming back.
Watched the show and now I鈥檓 reading the book, but I just had to do some art for Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell! The King鈥檚 Roads made me gasp and wish I could visit this strangely magical world.聽
