» liked «
- the concept of the circus
- the character's relationships to each other

» disliked «
- was hoping it would be more like The Night Circus in tone/mood
- wasn't really invested in the characters or their relationships
- also wasn't invested in the mystery of missing people

» overall «
i definitely would've liked (or eve just cared about) this book more if the characters were more interesting, but alas, that wasn't the case
