First half lagged a little bit
Graphic: Child abuse
Moderate: Death

- in the first quarter of the book, the abuse of a child is described to be “training” - throughout the book, several characters die, but only one is described throughly - one of the deaths is labeled as a suicideceruleanshelves's review against another edition

“The circus arrives without warning.”
if you thought caraval was trippy, give this a whirl 🖤
slow-paced, but vivid and fantastical. i admittedly felt a bit bogged down sometimes with the time jump POV changes and would have liked a little more of the romance, but overall erin morgenstern delivers a vividly crafted tale of magic, time, and mystery. she cuts no corners on her lush scenery and revelry, the imagery so vibrant and detailed you can almost taste the caramel popcorn.
“When all of this is over, no matter which one of us wins, I will not let you go so easily. Agreed?”
“Agreed.”
