Illusionarium by Heather Dixon Wallwork

4.0

I'm not sure what I was expecting this book to be about, but it wasn't what it was ACTUALLY about. Which turned out to be a good thing, because I found myself pretty much fascinated with the world created in Illusionarium and thoroughly engrossed in the story, and I'm not sure I would've picked it up if I'd really read the summary and/or paid attention to others' reviews. This was a book that was different than pretty much everything else I've ever read, and I'm not even sure what genre to put it in. There's some magic, some dystopian, some adventure, and it all resolved into a really engaging, edge-of-your-seat read. What I will say is, if you're at all interested in it, pick it up and give it a read. Hopefully you'll come out of it having enjoyed it as well!
