Circe’s just been exile to a far away island. So far she reads as a girl yearning for love as she’s always been overlooked and mistreated by those that are nearest to her. First by family and now even by the man she loved enough to turn into a God.

Kulti is all action when it comes to his love. I can’t wait for him to fully reveal his feelings and they get together. As by now, it’s 100% clear as a reader that he’s head over heels in love with Sal.

Pictures of them got out by paps looking chummy and then Kulti calls her his best friend, lol. Why did that make me swoon? And then when PR asks them to go on a date with other people to lower the PR crisis he refuses for both of them! Awww!

They went from strangers to enemies to now friends they play matches together in their free time. Two lovers of soccer that admire each other’s prowess in the sport. The gradual changes between them make sense and feel natural.

She’s fangirled over the MMC since she was a kid! She had 3!!! Different birthday cakes with his face on it, omg!!!!

I love how they’re setting up the legend that was this future iconic ice dancing duo in a documentary style interview 10 yrs post some epic scandal while also rehashing their past to get there.

I actually really like Levi and Bee together!!

At the point Levi has:
Saved her when she was locked in a cemetery,
Changed her employment status so that she qualifies for the NASA gym without paying,
Spoken up for her and lectured his own team for being obtuse…
Amongst other things, but of course given their shared past when he was verrrry cold to her and his lack of refuting how she thinks he hates her. Bee finds excuses for all of his kind acts… agh!

I really like Ali Hazelwood’s witty, fun banter. Her FMC’s tend to be very similar but it’s my kind of likable FMC.

Yeah… I’m tapping out. All of the different POV’s prevent me from actually connecting with any of these leads.

The fight scenes are very very cool! I will say however that I’m not sure that Thurwar or Staxxx make for rootworthy FMC’s.

Really cool prisoners fighting to their deaths for freedom. The one thing is that I hope this doesn’t have a bajillion POV’s so that I can emotionally connect with the MC’s.

Soooo the fight scenes are very cool!!!

Honestly I think I made a mistake… the parasites and pathology is not for me. I’m actually queasy.

This book had a problem with giving A LOT of details when it comes to setting up the whimsical world of the circus, but misses out on explaining how Marco and Celia are now mysteriously in love…? They had that moment when he showed her around the house, and then apparently 3 yrs passed and they’ve barely met but are in love?! Huh?? Everyone’s outfit and the desserts are described, yet the characters? Nope. Ugh

The story has developed and the circus is fully underway drawing massive crowds with its every stop, but Marco and Celia have barely interacted and I’m almost halfway done! We get random clockmaker (Herr Thiessen) or of Tara or Bailey POV’s. Obviously intending to weave a long and complicated web that there’s magic & manipulation afoot but still character development is sorely missing…

There’s so many different POV’s and the challenge hasn’t even started, yet I’m almost 1/5 done with the story! Interesting but still in the build-up portion of things.

Little has actually occurred having to do with the night circus itself. Instead, we've been introduced to Celia and Marcus.

So Jude and Carden just did it, lol. This is a *chefs kiss* example of enemies to lovers done well!

Cardan and Jude have just met backup for the first time since he exiled her, BUT he thinks she's Taryn! Messsssssy

The crave for feminine rage part of me wants more suffrage for Sam. Like what do you mean everyone else faces the consequences of their actions— Heidi with the prospective of jail time! Yet he gets to go back home fine and dandy to his wife?! AND she forgives him!??!!?!???

This book followed a verrrrry unexpected direction. The accident didn’t end with 8 passengers but thousands?!?! Now the story’s at a 6 months later junction and I’m completely unsure of how everything’s gonna play out seeing how there’s still a fifth of the book remaining!

Jude is stubborn to the bone. And deeply insecure. It’s pretty clear that Cardan’s obsessed with her, but rather than believing in that. She uses her hold over him to command. It makes sense given the character written. Solid story so far something’s definitely gonna go down during Taryn’s wedding.

Book one was better. I’m a little doubtful that all of Jude’s efforts for Oak is as good of an idea. How can he be properly prepared to be king when he’s being raised outside of the world?

One out the 8 is already dead. And now they’re voting to kill off Bilquis a Somali refugee. 6 out of 8 left. Definitely a racism thing. Poor woman.

Still introducing all the passengers that are being held hostage. With around 2 and a half hrs to either live or die.

Round of applause for two emotionally mature adults having conversations and sharing their insecurities with each other!!! 👏👏👏

I’m really loving the two-way communication between the leads. Being 200+ years in the past is already confusing enough. So thank goodness that this isn’t one of those books rife with needless misunderstandings! Anytime something pops up they talk it out and hash out their differences with relative quickness!

Hugh and Tess make for a really fun pairing. They spat back and forth, but their time traveling circumstance has led to a truce that’s blossoming into something more! :)

This story’s just not clicking with me and it’s entirely because a) I don’t really care about tennis and b) Carrie is very unlikable and having already accomplished it all, I don’t really care about her ego forcing her to return to tennis as a 37 yr old. 5-6 years post retirement.
