Dear
H&H,
A
big shout out to Ellen for a wonderful dinner and fantastic book club
meeting.
Here
is a very quick recap of the evening:
Many
of us struggled with the character development.
Amy mentioned in the end how she only really cared for Widget, Poppet
and Bailey.
A
lot of discussion around how the order of the book was written and why the
author did not write it chronologically.
Ellen
and Susan loved the circus theme.
Marco
seemed very unstable.
Amy
had a hard time grasping that Marco was plucked from an orphanage and able to ‘learn
magic’.
Ellen
stated that there really weren’t many nice people in the book.
Isabel
was out for herself.
We
hated the clockmakers death.
Celia
and Marco were raised by sociopath father /father figure who were willing to sacrifice
their children’s lives.
The
author has a nice writing style and lots of imagery.
The
romance between Celia and Marco felt lukewarm.
See
you all next month.
Jenn
