yo i started the first book thinking it was a standalone about circuses. BOY is it getting so complicated and SO far from that help 😭 im not so sure im liking it but the worldbuilding is insane so i gotta give the author props for that.

lowered the rating just cuz of the abnormal amount of blatant mysogyny. otherwise its phenomenal and just how i like my literature: clever writing of a perfectly horrific plot which is confusing and creepy at the same time. shame it had to be ruined tho. still, 'twas pretty good.

absolutely in love with this genius book. there is nothing more to say.

it kinda ate and it kinda didnt. idk if this type of book just isnt my cup of tea or smth but it was smth new at least. not much else to say. interesting structure overall tho.

idk what to say... so much suffering and for what? i had hoped the characters would get a good ending but i was only lying to myself the entire time. i knew this book would be sad but it still crushed me. the first 600 pages were agonisingly slow to me but the last 100 pages... i wouldnt recommend this book to my worst enemy. if you do decide to put yourself through this: pls read the trigger warnings! i dont even remember all the things so im not going to list any 😭 just look them up <3

idk what that was tbh. nice writing tho?
