Left all alone after her mother passes away, twelve-year-old Louisa watches the sky for her father. Long ago, a powerful gust of wind stole him away on the wings of his untamed magic - the same magic that stirs within Louisa. As if she is made of hollow bones and too much air, her feet never quite touch the ground.
This book is devoured in no time, the author's writing style is smooth and engaging.
The world created by the author is a magical, mysterious world full of hope and courage and this book is a read that engages all ages.
It is very reminiscent of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

This book gave me Night Circus vibes from the start, haunting setting, interesting characters and magic.
It was a shorter read which was nice as I’ve had some big ones on the go & I liked the short chapters.
I couldn’t wait to find out if Louisa was going to find what she desired and backing her all the way. Great read.

Just didn’t gel with the writing style. Lacked atmospher.

A magical story of a girl, a carnival, a mystery and a place to call home.
Utterly delightful.
Preliminary thoughts:
- found family friendships will always be a beautiful trope
- gorgeous writing style, with a really nice way of blending metaphor with magic
- the antagonist was perhaps a bit too obvious for me personally, but I am also a 25-year-old and so really that may be more a question of my not being the target audience than a deficit for the book itself
