it was amazing

The prose sparkles, and the story itself is a feat of magical acrobatics. It's a hard book to summarize, but basically two ancient magicians set their two best pupils against one another in a magical contest. Its venue? A mysterious circus that only appears at night. The only problem: the contestants don't really know the rules, or how victory is determined. And when the contestants start falling in love which each other, things get complicated.

Banana Chicken Thanks for giving a summary of it! Is it appropriate for younger/teenage kids?


message 4: by Ann (new) - rated it 5 stars

Ann You should have written the summary on the back cover, instead of what was written. You describe it perfectly. I just finished reading it and now have a book hangover. No other book appeals.


Erin Bosbury this is better than the actual summary of the book, which is completely false advertising tbh


Manali This is a better blurb than what the actual book had. That set false expectations, unfortunately :(
