Merion is this great juxtaposition between the man and the boy he is. You had them and you went with them immediately like you already knew them. I also like reading into certain things far too much, and one of the first literary encounters I had with Circuses was Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak, and a lot of the time I was getting really similar vibes.there was even a character called Shan, and even if this wasn't a reference, it was a really nice throwback for me to experience when reading.īeing the second in a series the characters felt familiar. I love a circus in a story, but it has to be one thats a little dark, that has a bit of edge to it, and when you have a circus of rushers it certainly has edge. I had wondered where this story would go, so I was pleasantly surprised with the introduction of a Circus. IN so much as this was a focus we also got to send a lot more time with the events happening in London (something I mentioned wanting more of), and get more from Faye queen, in a way where everything was gradually building up to the climax of not only this book but the s*** storm that is to come in book 3! There's a difference sense of pace here, a different intensity, it's very much a journey book - across the Endless lands (America to you and me) helped, buy what better means, than a travelling circus.
The cover is beautifully errie.If you didn't get that blood would be a part of the book from the titles, then the cover sure goes a long way to fix that, seeped in shades of reds, with the great big moon rising up.oh wait could that be the bloodmoon? I alos love the typography of Ben's name, so different from the Emaneska, its like the name here has grit. It started with Bloodrush.(and what a rush that was #sorrynotsorry) and rising from the ashes life must go on! I was a little excited for this book, I'd been looking forward to it since the end of Bloodrush and now I have post Bloodmoon blues.
