Koffi and Ekon are as different as you can be. Koffi lives with the Night Circus with her mother working off a debt her father accrued, which became theirs after his death. The Night Circus harbors many different animals, each dangerous in their own right and the workers are their handlers. Koffi discovers she has magic after accidentally setting fire to the tent, adding years to hers and her mother's debt, just days before they were due to be free. In exchange for their freedom, Koffi claims she can bring in the most dangerous animal of them all. The Shetani.
Ekon has wanted nothing more than to be like his brother. To be a Son of the Six, but when he fails to do his duty and is stripped of the chance to complete his trial, Ekon becomes morose. In his grief he decides to take matters into his own hands. If he kills the Shetani he'll be welcomed into Son of the Six ranks. He'll be a hero.
Thrown together unexpectedly, Koffi and Ekon agree to help each other in their search for the Shetani, but each is hiding a secret from the other and they both come to find that not everything is the way they thought.
Perfect for fans of the Gilded Ones.

You ever get like 25 pages into a book and know you won't enjoy it? Yeah that's me with this book. It's a feeling and I trust my gut.

I thought this was a good book. I had a good time reading it. I liked the characters, Koffi and Ekon. I thought the pacing was off at times. I like the worldbuilding. I'm excited to see what happens in the sequel.
