Closer to a 3.5 stars rating for me personally. This is the type of book that many people love but I just wasn't feeling it. However, it is a good book that will gain your interests and intrigue. I did enjoy it and am happy that I finally got around to reading it because I have wanted to for a long time.

3.75 ⭐️ Overall this was good. But just didn’t quite live up to the hype for me.

Imaginative, creative, and filled with magic and fantasy... all the elements I was hoping to find when I cracked open this novel. Bravo!

I have only been to the circus only once or twice when I was very very young. I can't seem to remember if I enjoyed it or not. Before reading this book, I thought it was about normal circus but I was so wrong. I wish there was a circus like Le Cirque des Reves in real life that I can go to. I want to stay in there and never ever leave. So magical and enchanting and everything felt so real. The writing is so smooth and beautiful and not too over the top. Not a single part was boring or confusing
