Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles
5.0
4.5*
What was THAT???
how am I going to wait for the sequel?
SO GOOD
Everything about Where Dreams Descend is exquisite: that gorgeous cover, the lush descriptive writing, intriguing characters, well-done romance, even the title itself!
I don't know why I was so hesitant to pick this up: it just goes to show not to take under-hype too seriously, especially if the concept of a book piques your interest.
Right from page 1 I was enthralled and couldn't do anything else until I'd finished this. Where Dreams Descend has indeed been compared to Caraval and The Night Circus - both brilliant concepts in their own rights - but don't let that put you off as if this will be a trope-filled carbon copy. I certainly enjoyed this as much, if not more, than both the aforementioned books.
Set in a world of circuses and magicians, the stage and forests, the mood was thoroughly enjoyed by me as well as the dark, brooding characters such as Jack and Demarco. Angeles is an author that can write romance, for sure.
Overall I would recommend to give in to the temptation of that cover and read this book: I hope you won't be disappointed. :)
