5/5
Enchanting. Magical. Breathtaking. These are some of the adjectives used
to describe this book and I completely agree. This book is everything I imagined
and more. Beautifully descriptive with an uplifting, yet sometimes
heartbreaking story of love, loss and friendship. The characters are vibrant
and alive, ensnaring the reader into the mystical world of the circus. The love
between Celia and Marcus is passionate though heart wrenching, whilst the
friendship between Poppet and Bailey is endearing. I can definitely see myself
picking up this book up again over the summer and again after that. It is a
story that will never get tired and has become a close contender for my
favourite book.
The only
thing I did not like is the time jump between chapters; one minute you’re in 1886
and the next you’re in 1902 and it can get a little complicated making sense of
what is happening and what has already happened. However, this does not
distract from the magic of the book and I would thoroughly recommend it to
anyone, no matter what genre of book you like.
