Blood Circus

⭐⭐⭐ – Beautiful cover on this book.

Blood Circus by Camila Victoire is a decent read that kept me engaged throughout. The book follows sixteen-year-old Ava, who ends up being captured by the Klujns, a barbaric humanoid species, and made to participate in their Blood Race.

The premise of the book is intriguing and had me hooked from the start. However, the execution could have been better. The characters and world-building were lacking, and I wish there had been more fleshing out of both. At the end of the book, I still knew very little about the Klujns beyond what was essential to move the plot forward.

Overall, Blood Circus has an interesting concept that lacked depth, but it was an intriguing enough read that I will stick with the series and hope for potential improvements in future installments.
