Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles
3.0

"In a city covered in ice and ruin, a group of magicians face off in a daring game of magical feats to find the next headliner of the Conquering Circus, only to find themselves under the threat of an unseen danger striking behind the scenes."

I had SUCH high hopes for this book! Magicians and a strong female protagonist? Count me in.
Where Dreams Descend was set as “Moulin Rouge meets The Phantom of the Opera”..and that's a bold statement to make for a book! Unfortunately it didn't deliver that for me.

The world-building, characters, plot or main goal for the protagonist were all a bit murky for me throughout. I was never 100% sure where it was going.

It had such promise! So I was bummed that it didn't meet my expectations. I gave this 3/5 stars.
