I loved the main characters, the setting and the premise, but the antagonists were incredibly one dimensional and, to me, felt a little dull.

I liked the story, characters and setting, but I think that the writing was kind of flat, like it didn't convey the emotions I felt it could have conveyed, you know? Just made me want for a bit more than what I actually got. Overall a good reading.

I loved this book! Although it's set during the Alaska - Yukon - Pacific Exposition (1909) the rivalry between the illusionists gave me circus / carnival vibes. The author takes hefty historical liberties to bring this fantasy to life, but I didn't even mind.
If you want a fast-paced read that contains fantasy, heists, con artists, and a gay love story: Look not further!

Some of the writing and dialogue felt quite stiff, and it felt like some parts were skimmed over too quickly, and other sections had too much detail given. But the two main relationships were quite sweet !!
