I choose to believe that this book was just not the right one for me. The book is a story of a magical circus, elaborate performances, enchantments and the bright allure of a Victorian style Circus. The elaborate description of magical tents and off-beat performers initially drew me in allowing them to grow in my imagination but it quickly turned out to be prattling, wordy and dragging along. There is absolutely no thickness in the plot and I couldn't cheer for any single character. The plot fel
