Carval - Stephanie Garber
1.5/5 Stars
I picked this up because of the constant comparisons to the night circus, but ultimately I was left disappointed.
I found the writing to be very frustrating and the forced metaphors really just got annoying and didn't really make sense most of the time to me.
While I enjoyed some aspects of the plot, the characters were completely forgettable and had no personality or feeling to them at all. In fact, i have instantly forgotten about all of them.
Magical circus settings are by far my favourite setting for a novel to take place in, however there was next to no world building in this book, which really stopped it being the 'magical adventure' it claims to be.
