Pantomime by L.R. (Laura) Lam, L.R. Lam, L.R. Lam
5.0
Pantomime was ya fantasy novel I was very excited about. Then I read a review by the friend and thought that she spoiled a big secret about the plot: that Gene & Michas are the same person. I was wrong. This fact is revealed pretty quickly + has no influence on how you will enjoy this book at all.
Pantomime is one of those books I am so sorry they are not more popular, since it should be a role model for ya fantasy genre. It has:
✸ MC who is a hermaphrodite.
✸ Complex characters.
✸ It's not all about romance.
✸ Set in a circus.
✸ Intriguing world-building.
✸ A lot of mystery.
✸ World full of strange artifacts left by previous civilization (like in Dark Tower series.)
I loved Pantomime and I am just sorry I haven't read it sooner. If you are looking for unique and different fantasy novel (not necessarily meant only for ya audience), then read it as soon as you can!
