This is the kind of book I find hard to rate. It was good. Charlie was sweet and naive. Realistically there wasn't much of a plot but it kinda didn't need one. I'm still really confused about the ending an his aunt- not quite sure what that was about. It's strange because at the start, I was thinking that I wouldnt particularly fancy the letter format but it was a good change up from the norm and when I started to read Indigo Spell after finishing Perks I was like 'oh yeah chapters I forgot about those.' I knew that this book dealt with a lot of issues but I really wasn't expecting that much to happen. This is a terrible review. Please just read the book and you won't be disappointed (less)

I can't express my love for this book and my love for the characters other than saying it was truly captivating. The ending really gives you closure, for the most part anyway, and it kind of surprises me that there are more books. I would be satisfied with just this one. The romance is truly beautiful and it makes me long to feel the way Grace and Sam do. 4.5 stars!!!(less)

Overall, I enjoyed it and I think if i was reviewing the same book a year before I would give it 5/5 stars. However, there were some things that I felt unnecessary- the overuse of imagery in some parts which should have actually focused on the characters' interactions. Don't get me wrong I loved the imagery for the mostpart e.g. the clock that Herr Thies... creates for the circus is amazing and if I could, I would definitely buy it. My favourite tent I think is the Bedtime Stories one that Bailey enters, it's my kind of thing as I really think smells can transport you to times and places,(I think Christmas time has a smell, weird right?)I reckon it was pretty obvious, right from the intial meeting of Hector and Grey Suit Man, that it was a challenge with only one victor and i gotta say the way you make your move, so to speak, wasn't all that like crazy and out of this world insane.
I would recommend reading it if you like circuses(who doesn't?)(less)

I really shouldn't be so surprised lol. I'll be honest I wasn't exactly like totally compelled to read this book during the first few chapters, in other words it could have been better. For me the ending just makes the book. I was actually on the edge oft seat, in this case my bed. Before I get carried away I would like to talk about zee book in general. I really liked seeing things from Simon's perspective as I think Clary can be pretty darn annoying sometimes and simon is generally an awesome character. Oh I also loved how Camille was part of the story and also that mention of Will (sorry Alec). (less)

I totally didn't see that Avery thing coming, although i didn't like her from the start. And Dimitri is STILL alive that guy is like an uber-unkillable god. I loved the scene where Rose escapes from Galina's estate, especially where she is in the woody area in thew tree and the she jumps down onto dimitri, that bit was epic in my opinion. i cannot wait until Spirit Bound man the series is my fav vampire series. Vampire Academy FTW!!!(less)
