I read this book as part of the dymocks challenge for ‘dymocks top 101’, although it could fit into ‘a book with mystery’ or ‘a book you’ve always meant to read’. I did read the start of this book a few years ago when I was 14, but I didn’t like it and found it boring. Now that i’m maturer I found it a very lovely book. The writing was enchanting and the storyline was captivating. The idea of the circus was so interesting and made me want to go there myself. Some parts I am still not completely clear on but I have the general idea. Some aspects that I found a bit jarring were: it’s all written in present tense. I’ve never read a book fully written in present tense so it was strange. It also jumps timelines quite heftily so I had to keep going back and forth to see what happened where. And for a while, there was an i described challenge that I had no idea what it would be. These factors were quite easy to embrace. I very much enjoyed this book! Read this 21st-24th  of Jan. 4.5 stars

A truly magical book. I lived in this world, fully wrapped up in it. The bonds formed between the characters was indescribable. I only wish that the ending had been more fleshed out. The ending felt rushed and almost incomplete with how the main characters' presence fade from the storyline.

I really wanted to love these characters but they fell flat to me, even Celia, who we’ve now spent so much time with, feels unknowable. It’s more a feast for the imagination, with gratuitous  descriptions of each magical tent and the experience of taking in the circus, but even in the end, I feel disconnected from the characters. Perhaps that’s intentional?
