I was a little skeptical of this one, fearing it might be more fanciful or anachronistic in ways that would bug me, but I enjoyed it quite a lot. It was fast-paced, had a memorable cast of characters, and was a little dark. I gulped it down.

I’m always a sucker for anything carnival or circus related so when I saw this one I knew I had to have it! The story had so much potential but the execution just didn’t do it for me. It felt messy and confusing and just didn’t have the magic I was so hoping for. I didn’t hate it but it definitely wasn’t what I was hoping it would be.
