Could not have loved it more!!!!! I’ve had the best week of reading!!! One great book after another..I’ve been looking forward to this novel since The Daughter of Victory Lights!! And it did not disappoint at all, if anything I’ve finished The Magpie’s Sister a bigger fan! Who knew I was so interested in Australian Circus history! This was so good!!! I absolutely loved it. Maggie the ‘lagoon creature’ ‘freak’ was just the best; even when she was making mistakes you just wanted to sit with her. Accompanying The Braun Brothers’ Royal Circus as they travel through ‘sights so unimaginable they seem almost magical’ was the best! I have never thought about Australia’s circus history before and I am so glad I got the opportunity to with Maggie and ‘her people’ . Getting to think about the First Nations experience through Nev, addiction, and catfishing was a really valuable opportunity. I just loved this novel! Can’t recommend it more highly enough! Definitely a Hissy Fic in the making
