I liked the world, the mind-bending exuberance of the circus with a darker, forbidding undercurrent. I loved the characters, the inclusivity and feeling of belonging to a chosen family. Except... loud sigh did Jes piss me off for the majority of the book. For someone with unrivaled superpowers, who whines about getting autonomy so much he sure does help himself get exploited quite easily. There were a couple other plot holes that I was trying to ignore for the sake of tripping out on the hallucinogenic narrative. It could have been deeper and more polished but overall it was a lusty read, in a macrocosm I would eagerly explore again.
