It's queer and it's cute. But it also had some heavy topics. I liked how there was a bit of a found family trope in there. The book also had some beautiful quotes! I annotaded it.
The author really has a way with words. I also like that it is set in 1909, but that the queer characters were still shown.
Great book. Would recommend to ppl who are looking for: queer books, magicians, circus vibes, found family, ...

I loved the setting alot, and William and Jack were cute together. I loved how even though the "romance" was the main motivator for the main characters actions (it's because Jack liked William that he decided that he had to help William away from his' abusive "family", and it's because William was in love with Jack that he was willing to brave against his abusive "Father" ).
The best part of this book was definitely the climax,
