I loved this book so much more than I expected to. I was surprised to find myself hooked so quickly, and if I had the time I’m sure I would’ve read it in a day. It was very unique; there was a dark carnival, a murder mystery, and an intricate magic system. The cast of characters was diverse and dynamic, and I loved the friendship and family aspects. There’s a lesbian character and a love interest on the ace or demi spectrum, and there’s speculation that the protagonist is bi. This was a really twisty read and I highly enjoyed it. If a sequel is ever written, I plan to devour it.
