Absolutely enthralling
The mix of timelines and perspectives was easy to follow, as the characters were distinctly different. The romance wasn't enemies to lovers, but rivals, who respected and turned movers who became better for each other
Poetry in novel form

ok wow, the atmosphere and the anticipation were fantastic. I loved losing myself in this world and the different timelines. 

That being said, very few of the many questions were answered and the characters fell completely flat, while the circus was dazzling. I’m left feeling unsatisfied and maybe even frustrated. Like the MAIN source of “conflict” has a mysterious origin that is never explained and the magic throughout the book is difficult to understand. The world-building is an illusion, just like the circus.

So so beautiful! I can’t even describe how this book makes me feel. I have the extreme desire to experience the circus for myself. Usually I don’t prefer slow paced books but I loved every second of this! The authors writing is so gorgeous I feel as if I’m there, at the magical night circus. This book is so mysterious, mystical, and surreal. I beg you to read it if you haven’t already!
