Welcome to Litsy!

2⭐What is it with circuses lately. Everybody‘s afraid of clowns, but everybody loves the circus. The circus just happens to be a lesbian time traveling one. Our ringmaster comes from a previous circus where things were not so good and were bad in a mythical type of way. We the reader don‘t know why but honestly, I don‘t care. The whole time traveling and going back-and-forth between , 1919 and just after or even during the war just was not working

It's 1926, Ringmaster and her crew of Sparks (people with magical abilities) travel across the US to bring people joy and to help "special guests" in which ever way possible. This also includes Ringmaster, her wife Odette and their friend Mauve to travel through time (⬇️)

It's also 1917, Edward was just rescued from a WW I trench by Ruth. The two run away to join the circus.

Low pick for me, see comments

Characters were well developed, I really adored this circus troupe of misfits. This was also a story about toxic relationship, and I felt for Ruth. It's awful what people can do to each other, saying they love you.

I adore circus as a setting, and time travelling - this had both! I loved how this made me to think about who I really am.

There happened pretty much, there was one subplot that wasn't needed.

Got some pretty books from The Broken Binding.

I'm still like 10 billionth on their subscription waiting list and the two I'm most looking forward to have not yet been dispatched, but these are beauties!

Have you read any of them??

Great imagery, great sensory descriptions, emotionally impactful, complex, artistically structured

Today's #BookMail ! You folx know I love a good circus story, so I'm really excited about this #ARC. Plus, look at the great ticket/bookmark it came with!
