genre: fantasyA boy and a girl.
Able to move and change the physical world, creating illusions that are real, not parlor tricks.
Trained from childhood, raised and groomed for a challenge that they don't understand.
A circus.
Tents full of wonders that soak the senses and make the imaginary into reality.
A romance that cannot be.
And I'm not telling you ANY MORE. You have to GO READ IT NOW. This book blew me away. I read it in one day - the characters are rich and conflicted, so full of abilities that it's a joy to read all the things they are capable of. The love story is absolutely pristine - it ebbs and flows with the same magical cadence as the rest of the plot. I honestly felt like I'd stepped into this alternate universe, it's exactly what I want from a book - a time period and way of life that's familiar and yet so unique with people that weave in and out and settle into the story in ways I couldn't have guessed. I wish I could read it for the first time all over again.

I have a feeling this book is going to be big! I can't wait to read it.
I definitely want to read this one. Unfortunately,my netgalley request to read it was denied. For that reason, I was hoping your review would be about how bad it was so that I could be glad I didn't have to read it. :)
