The Circus Rose by Betsy Cornwell
adventurous
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
4.0
One thing about me, I immediately love any piece of media about a circus.
I really enjoyed the two povs we get, how the form changes within the minds of our two main characters. I also thought it was a beautifully queer story, with cabaret boys and group relationships and a genderqueer love interest. And posing the circus as the ultimate accepting background makes perfect sense.
The main conflict was perhaps a bit predictable, but I thought the story was overall good enough that I would be happy to recommend it.
