review 1: ISBN? - 9780751540956Genre? - Historical Fiction / DramaCharacters? - Madame Celine / Silas P Swift / Cordelia Preston / Arthur Rivers / Mrs Spoons / Rillie / Gwenlliam PrestonSetting? - New York (U.S.A.) and London (England)Series? - Mesmerist #2Title? - The circus was having to contend with the demise of mesmerism, so they had to add something else.Character Analysis? - I felt that the characterisation was dry, particularly of Cordelia and Gwenlliam. Arthur came across as a more 3D character, which lent some credibility to the story. The others all seemed like background characters, which was a shame.General Comments? - The description of the setting and the circus itself was excellent. It was vivid and you could believe you were there. The storyline was promising, but n... moreot as well executed. It could have been accomplished in less words.Recommend? - No, it's really not worth it.
review 2: Questo libro in realtá sarebbe il seguito di un altro romanzo dell'autrice intitolato "The mesmerist", e non mi spiego perché abbiano tradotto il secondo e non il primo!E poi si meravigliano che l'editoria italiana sia in crisi...Comunque é un romanzo interessante, l'unico che io abbia letto sul Mesmerismo, ma non l'unico sul circo (e se guardate in libreria ne potete trovare diversi, tutti ovviamente molto simili).Non mi é decisamente piaciuto quanto "The night circus" di E.M. e non mi ha convinto molto la trama in certi punti del libro.Secondo me non riesce a creare bene quella tensione che ti prende quando non vedi l'ora di scoprire csa succederá.É diventato interessante dopo il rapimento di Gwenny, ma il libro a quel punto é quasi finito!Per me sono due stelle e mezza! less
