It seems obvious that a librarian would like a story about a librarian, but the truth is, a lot of books, movies, and TV shows can get it wrong when it comes to what it's like to be a librarian. This novel gets it right. That's the first plus. A mysterious traveling circus? Another plus. A possible conspiracy involving the protagonist's family history? Yet another plus. Tarot cards playing a significant role? Totally a plus. Ambiguous supernatural aspects? You better believe that's a plus! All in all, this is a magnetic, mysterious story, not as lyrical and lush as The Night Circus, but of a similar vein.
