im glad that this exists (always wanna support books about fellow trans guys) but there were sadly a lot of things i disliked about it.
i was much more interested in asher’s life outside of the midnight circus than in it (everything about the catholic school and moira and kaycee was amazing and i loved those sections). sadly apollo didn’t have much of a personality (neither did seb!! made me especially sad about seb cause he was first introduced and i thought maybe he would be a love interest but then absolutely nothing was done with him :( ).
i also think it would’ve worked better for me if the midnight circus weren’t real, and were just in asher’s dreams (there was also very little description of it other than the same things over and over about kids, rides, and popcorn).
so yeah basically: wanted it to lean much more into the contemporary
