The unfortunate truth is that The Night Circus has basically ruined me for all other circus books and By a Charm and a Curse fell on the disappointing side of things. Though it’s been compared to TNC and Caraval, I didn’t see much of a resemblance beyond the setting (in a way, but still not a great comparison). I should have DNFed it. I […]

Set in the late 1800’s, we meet Briar who’s working to help support her family at a mill. Much of the original story plays a role in this re-telling with little tidbits […]
