2 stars out of 5. 
 Just because it has a circus in it, does not mean it is like The Night Circus. And I don't know if it is me, but honestly, I am out growing YA novels. There are some amazing exceptions(pssst, Six of Crows Duology, Legend trilogy, A Darker Shade of Magic trilogy.) but the writing, the plot and UGH THE ROMANCE I just can't stand. 
 Plot: 
 I think it is alright. There are some nice twists and turns and I do like how things went, or the direction it was going. 
 Writing: 
 All the 'flowery' descriptions were soooo unnecessary and it does not give the magical essence that it was trying, at least in my perspective. Also, It was so long and not pretty that I was skimming over them most of the time. 
 Characters: 
 Nope. Couldn't stand Scarlett, Couldn't stand Julian, Couldn't stand Tella, Couldn't stand anyone basically. And that is sad. Because if I had liked the characters, I definitely wouldve like this book much more. 
 Romance: 
 Another Nope from me. Too fluffy and cheesy. And lame. I was rolling my eyes everytime and skipped the intimate moments. Definitely couldn't stand it. 
 Elaborated Review to come. 
 But do I recommend this? If the synopsis sounds interesting to you, then yeah. And if you're looking for something with fluffier romance and a bit of adventure, then look no further. But this book was not for me. (Because I love slow burning romance and amazing, strong characters.)
