Summary:
Enter the circus at your own risk . . . and discover the greatest show on earth in this explosive and darkly magical fantasy novel
For humans, the circus is a place filled with wonder and amazement. For Harrow, it's a place to hide from those who slaughtered her entire clan. Disguising her abilities as part of her act has kept her true identity safe for years.
Until he arrives.
A strange new attraction with no name, no memory of who – or even what – he is, let alone an explanation for his odd yet deadly powers. But beneath the layers of anger and isolation, one glimpse into his inky eyes reveals a soul that calls out to the loneliness in her own.
And so, she chooses him.
Harrow is drawn to the darkness, to her insatiable need to soothe the beast who threatens their very existence. But with every secret she unlocks from his past, another from hers is revealed – luring enemies who will stop at nothing to get their final revenge on Harrow. And she's afraid she's given them the perfect weapon against her because he's not what he seems.
But maybe it's time they finally learn neither is she…
Review:
Firstly thank you to RandomThings Book Tours, Bantam and Aurora Ascher for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
Ok, so I have to start off with something I haven't mentioned for a while, which is surprising considering I'm a magpie, how stunning this cover is! It is so beautiful and eye-catching, even just seeing the spine on my shelf is beautiful. So if you are one of those readers who listens and then gets the shelf trophy, you are going to want this one.
Now unusually for me I've actually read some reviews about this book before finishing it, and I think I'm one of the odd ones because I got drawn in from the first chapter and I was suitably hooked by the time I was 50 pages in, whereas it seems other found the first half difficult to get into I loved it. I enjoyed flipping between Raith and Harrow's points of view, especially once their paths merged it was really good to see them from each other's point of view.
I'll admit I want more when it comes to the backstory of the Queens and their fighting/wars, i definitely think we need a prequel to this series at some point because that sounds like a really interesting aspect of the world-building to delve into.
I'm usually more of a pure fantasy kind of girl, romantasy is a new genre for me but it is one I'm defiantly enjoying exploring and I really can't wait for the next book in this series, I've enjoyed Aurora Aschers writing style so much its flowed easily and it kept me emersed in the world she's created so well. I'm not sure what else I can say without spoiling it for you all, and you know I don't like spoiling books! But I'm hoping we don't have to wait too long for book two to come out.
