The intellectual delegation for awarding the Elysian Prize is funny and oh so shady! The candidates are bed-hopping. The submissions are mistakenly admitted and excluded. One character (who believes he should be a candidate, despite publishing his novel privately in India) is the six hundred and fifty-third maharaja of Badanpur. The messy personal lives of the judges, candidates, and secondary characters all intertwine and the snobby, caustic remarks alone are worth reading this book. A very impressive feat by Edward St. Aubyn to write multiple excerpts of the candidate's works for inclusion in the text.

On my never-ending browse of NetGalley, I was stopped in my mouse-scrolling tracks! That cover! Then I read the description and my eyes started popping out of my head. The Night Circus (I looooved The Night Circus,) female illusionist accused of her husband's murder (I like a strong female lead,) and Waterloo, Iowa (close to where I grew up and worked.) This book sounded really good. I held my breath when I started reading it for fear I would be let down and then I continued holding my breath because I was so intrigued! Amazing Arden cloaked in heavy brocade skirts, with her dual colored eye, had me mesmerized by her story as if I were Virgil Holt and I was in that jail cell with her. Greer Macallister has given readers one of the best "love to hate" characters with Ray and one of the best anti-heroines with Arden. It is hard to believe that this is only her debut novel but it is exciting to think how this means there is more to come from her.
