I’d give this book ten million stars if I could. This is the best book I will read all year. This is the best book I’ve read in years. I still am tearing about about it. It is a fucking work of art. Everyone who loves the night circus and felt at home in the gracling series should read this. It’s sapphic, Jewish, magical, otherworldly, JR Dawson wrote this book for me. I won’t ever forget this book. It spoke to my soul. It travels time, space, everything. Dear god. This book was spectacular. I can’t stop tearing up.
