I was never super drawn into the story, the jumping around storyline confused me a little but the writing was fantastic and I enjoyed the reveals and twists

Felt incredibly slow and I never really cared about the romance or the mentors. The circus itself felt very magical and the descriptions and cool things within the circus are the only reason it’s not a flat 1 from me. I think it’s possible I would have enjoyed this more if it wasn’t sold to me as an enemies to lovers romance because it was not that lol.

For some reason I couldn’t connect to this book... I think it’s partially because of the way it’s written, it was pretty difficult for me to follow the plot and the characters. There was a lot I couldn’t understand or even imagine and while I was fascinated by the circus, I couldn’t bring myself to care for the characters and what would happen to them. I know magic isn’t something that one can rationalize, but I feel like the magic here was hard to grasp, it felt all over the place and the plot didn’t help much.
