It wasn’t my favourite - it really wasn’t. I didn’t like the carnival setting or the use of “freaks” 

The ending chapters with the turban references made me really uncomfortable but so does someone using a cultural symbol as a disguise or costume. 

I’m disappointed- but that cliff hanger was pretty good - I’m hoping the next one is better

Everything about this is really good and exciting with lots of good world building and ramping up in the plot. 

That cliff hanger omg!

 
Can't wait to read the next one!
