Fascinating and so different from what I usually read. It was immersive and intriguing and oddly enough the slowness of the book had me even more pulled in because of the little pieces that were so enticing and mysterious. 

I loved the mystery and the characters, the imagery and detail. It was a book that had me sometimes re-reading sections because the detail and creativity in what was being described demanded my full attention so my brain could truly picture it. 

I loved the community of the circus members and how love and sacrifice and friendship were introduced as well. Really enjoyed this one a lot.
