The Black Carnival
by Harlequin Grim
dark
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The circus descriptions and gritty 1880s London story setting really did it for me, target audience reached.
I enjoyed the twisty plot, there are some big reveals peppered throughout which I actually enjoyed pacing-wise. It had my emotions jumping through hoops!
If you are in the mood for a dark, goth, culty black magic, mortuary and circus inspired tale (would make an especially good October/Halloween time read) this is the book for you.
Thank you to Harlequin Grim, NetGalley and Quill & Crow publishing house for this unedited advance reader copy, all opinions are my own etc etc
