I started Jonathan Strange but I never finished it. I got maybe 25% in? There were not yet any interesting female characters, and I have less and less tolerance for that kind of crap. Unless you're writing fiction based in the -real world- of a certain era and in certain situations, you have no excuses. And even then the excuses are pretty thin.
