I picked this book up and started it multiple times before I finally finished it. So it’s really slow to start off with and definitely not one to go with if your combatting a reading slump. However I really loved the world building and would love to see more stories set at the Gomorrah carnival. The characters were all different and many of them were infuriating at points if not through out but that added to the family feel of the whole book. I’d say that where the plot ends up is shocking and unexpected when you compare the end to the beginning and middle. But that you could often guess the big twist just before it occurred
e.g. the princesses death being linked to Venera and Villiam being the bad guy.
 

Overall I’d say I enjoyed the book especially towards the late middle and end! And I’d like to reread it to see any Easter eggs relating to the plot twists throughout.
