Pantomime by L.R. Lam
3.0
Micah Grey what a memorable and fantastic character you are!
Pantomime was a breath of fresh air when it comes to a unique protagonist. Micah’s journey of identity, found family and purpose was a joy to be apart of.
✅ Intersex protagonist
✅ LGBTQ+ rep
✅ Circus vibes
The world building of this novel needed a bit more deepening but was intriguing. I’m hoping the next books delve into more details about the Vestige and the empire. It was difficult to understand Micah’s powers as they weren’t used/expressed much in the book. There is certainly potential but hopefully this is explored more thoroughly in the next book.
Lam’s writing is immersive and easy to digest. I do think the story was a bit bumpy in terms of pacing but I think Micah is a character that makes the book enjoyable.
