This novel is just too long. it's written in a Victorian style of prose, and it's much too long. It rambles on and on about the goings on between two magicians in early nineteenth century Britain. Folks who enjoy long Victorian novels, or pre-Victorian Jane Austen style novels, might enjoy this but it's not my preferred style of fiction. And did I mention that it's much too long? It would have made a much better novella.
