Where Dreams Descend

This book definitely had those Phantom, Moulin Rouge vibes, as I saw a few reviews mention, but also just the craziness of magic-filled, risk-taking lore and adventure. There were great characters and a well-developed plot with competitions and increasing stakes. This was also definitely one of those books that focuses more on the characters; the characters move the plot, the plot doesn't move them. I don't quite have a preference for this, though at times I wish there was a little more plot-wise and not such a heavy focus on the characters. But considering the characters were so damn interesting, I couldn't quite hold it against Angeles. Great book.

i thought this book was going to be predictable but it surprised me at every corner and had me entranced the whole time. my hat's off to janella angeles, because this did NOT feel like a debut novel. absolutely spectacular, i encourage everyone to pick this up immediately!!!!!

I tried. I really did but I just don't care about what is going on. I know the main characters history is supposed to be a mystery but there was just too much mystery. You have to give me something to keep me interested but it was just this big secret with no small details.
