A sprawling epic that drags the whole cast into the story, The Great and Secret Show has a hard time giving all of them the same level of intrigue, leading to an uneven experience.

4.5
I accidentally read the sequel to this earlier this year and I have to say, getting all the pieces to the puzzle of the second book was satisfying but more than that, it's another expertly woven tapestry of world building and a carefully crafted plot.
