A good read overall, great if you like magic or carnival settings. One big grip: did we really need the Liza/Ishe romance? That was odd, and kind of creepy. The pacing was also a little janky, with it being slow at the beginning and fast at the end. The ending was also unsatisfying, and left questions unanswered. Still a good book, and I would recommend to people who like low-fantasy or historical fiction set in the Great Depression.
