Such an interesting and fascinating book. I loved the fantastical circus combined with WW2, elements that reminded me of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and the fight for good. The Jewish elements within the book I found interesting, and hopefully come across as tasteful as I perceived them to be.
