Olga I recently bought this book. Too bad to hear you guys didn't like it. I hope I like it though :)

I seem to be the black sheep all time nowadays 😂

If you love magical writing and books focused on the setting more than characters then you'll like it. Or if you love the circus in general.

Me too :( Yeah, I can see why!

Well, I like my books to be based on characters and not descriptions. This book was exactly the opposite. :/


Nicole Debbie wrote: "I didn't like it either!"

Glad I'm not the only one! Many seem to love it.

Kaya The writing style is colorful, but not even it could save monotonous and bland plot.

I was listening to the audio so maybe that's why i found it monotone :/ but yeah I agree. It's good but then plot so boring
