The copy of this that I read was 1006 pages long. It is a very long book! I have mixed feelings about this one, it was entertaining enough, but by the time I was done, I was really, really done. She does an excellent job of making you hate the bad guy, but the way they get rid of him is a bit anti-climactic. It is also filled with 'footnotes' to reference what she is talking about, these take up about 1/3 of the book. Their purpose is to explain the history of English magic. Without them it would have been a hugely confusing book, but at the same time, they were a bit boring.
I can't say that I would recommend this to anyone, but if you're brave enough, have at it!
