Thank you Edelweiss+ and Wednesday Books for the review copy. This in no way reflects my opinion.
Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
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.
Thoughts:
I DNFed at 23% which is really unfortunate because this was one of my most anticipated novels of 2020. I think i need to step away from reading books that are compared to things I like. Be it books or movies because why don't seem to live up to the hype sadly.
The characters felt very plain but maybe later in the novel they develop nicely. I was excited for more diversity of characters but with the juvenile antics I just wasn't feeling it.
Some of the writing is very lyrical but in the long run I dont think this mash-up Moulin Rouge, Phantom of the Opera was for me.
Who knows I might be missing gout on something if I stick with it but for now I'm setting it aside and picking up something new.
TTFN,
Ashley
