Beautiful cover, interesting plot. Characters seemed childish.

Really enjoyed this one. Good writing, an interesting old book, a family legacy and circus people. What more do you need?

4 stars only because there are librarians AND tarot cards.
Otherwise 3 stars for a whiny narrator who can’t figure out anything on his own.

Different twist on a family history. I found it a little slow in places but entertaining.

This book was definitely full of a fantastical aura that hovered around everything. It was quite dark and unsettling at times, but I found the mystical buoyed it. Overall quite good!
