I was not sold on the time jumps in the narrative at first, because they felt quite jilted. I got used to them as the story went along though.
If you like vibes this book is full of them.

My most adored parts of the book are the descriptions of the circus venues, from the enigmatic Labyrinth to the Wishing Tree and the Ice Garden. The symbolism of a circus that is adorned in black and white, and it is the visitors who bring colour to it, shows immaculate sense of the book's themes. I was immediately drawn to the character of Bailey and loved how the narrative slowly incorporates him and the rêveurs. A delightful tale with a bittersweet ending that I look forward to reading next time the circus rolls into town!

Kirja ei ihan yltänyt viiden tähden kirjaksi, koska henkilöiden välinen kemia ja yhteys ei aina tuntunut oikeanlaiselta tai perustellulta, vaikka oikeasti pidin monista hahmoista todella paljon ja esimerkiksi illalliskutsut olivat aina hurmaavia.
Kiinnostava fantasiakertomus, joka varmasti jää mieleen.
