About this listen
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the Most Fantastic Show on Earth....
Three years ago, the Ban changed everything, outlawing certain forms of magic and bringing about the rise of powerful crime syndicates. Now, speakeasies in every city sell illegal charms and jinxes, and bootleggers traffic restricted potion ingredients across the country. But even in this changing world, the magic of the circus still acts as a wondrous escape and provides entertainment for all.?
Jake Strickland owns one such circus, inherited after an accident ended his career as a rodeo dragon rider. He also inherited the circus’ financial troubles, but since the show became his, he’s slowly managed to turn it into a profitable business once more. Or at least, that’s what he thought.
When a dangerous mobster comes to collect an old debt, Jake resorts to desperate measures to get the money before a strict deadline. With lives and livelihoods at stake, he battles the clock, his responsibilities to the circus, and a longstanding personal grudge that has festered for years. Can he pay back the mob before it’s too late? And if so, what will it cost him?

Found as a child by the war-hungry tribe of the Grey Crow, Radok has forged himself a legend as the mighty Wolfeater, a warrior feared by all. Radok sets out on a quest to face his gods and ask them one question: What was the meaning of it all? With him goes Nyana, the blind eight-year-old girl long held in his care. They are hunted by friends and enemies alike, some desperate to preserve the natural balance, others hungry for revenge. But if the pair can do the impossible, if they can touch the Blackstone, it could change the destiny of their people - and the fate of the world.

Ren is a thief and a con man. There's just one rule: He doesn't kill people. Murder is rare in the walled city of Lenmar, thanks to the magic-eating Inquisitors that can sniff out any individual by their particular knack. So, when a serial killer starts killing the nobility, leaving no trace for the Inquisitors to follow, Ren becomes the prime suspect. All Ren wants to do is stop a serial killer, clear his name, and protect the people he cares about. To do that, he’ll have to pull one more high-stakes heist—and steal the proof he needs from the very people who want to catch him.

Magic can’t be real, right? Tell that to the werewolf glaring at me with his near-black eyes or the handsome vampire lounging in the corner. Did I enjoy growing up rejected by everyone I encountered because of my physical abnormalities? Hell no! The only thing I ever wanted was to be accepted by someone. Not everyone, just anyone. A normal job and one solid meal a day would’ve been nice too.

From the best-selling author of the Sandman Slim series, a lush, dark, stand-alone fantasy built off the insurgent tradition of China Mieville and M. John Harrison - a subversive tale that immerses us in a world where the extremes of bleakness and beauty exist together in dangerous harmony in a city on the edge of civility and chaos. The Great War is over. The city of Lower Proszawa celebrates the peace with a decadence and carefree spirit as intense as the war’s horrifying despair.

Story4 out of 5 stars 381
From the best-selling author of the Sandman Slim series, a lush, dark, stand-alone fantasy built off the insurgent tradition of China Mieville and M. John Harrison - a subversive tale that immerses us in a world where the extremes of bleakness and beauty exist together in dangerous harmony in a city on the edge of civility and chaos. The Great War is over. The city of Lower Proszawa celebrates the peace with a decadence and carefree spirit as intense as the war’s horrifying despair.

Jackson Hunt wants nothing more than to be a professional monster tamer - skilled trainers who raise and battle magical creatures called Djinn. He longs for the day when he comes of age and can leave home to pursue his dreams of taming Djinn. Unfortunately for Jackson, dreams and reality don’t always coincide. To help his grandmother make ends meet, Jackson spends his days doing manual labor on a breeder’s ranch - just about as far removed from the bright lights and roaring crowds of the DBL (Djinn Battle League) as it gets.

Mysterious and tragic, Madame Tan’s menagerie is the only home I’ve ever known. It’s a place where two worlds merge; a twilight zone between Earth and the magical Kingdom of Nerifir. The menagerie is filled with fantastic animals, but I discover that Madame captures and displays sentient beings too. One of them is locked in a crate day and night, not seen by anyone, and one day I learn why—looking at him kills. Even talking to Kyllen is forbidden, but I break that rule. I break many rules for him.

What a fun entertaining read
As the circus goes from town to town and one town calico gets away, he’s the dragon but that is all in a days work when working for this circus. Jake is just trying to make the bills and entertain people, but when one of the most wanted man who is also a Shapeshifter comes and tells him that his father owed him $400,000 and that he expects Jake to pay it within 30 days, Jake is not only baffled but tells him there’s no way he can pay it. This is when the Shapeshifter threatened his life and says people have been killed for less than saying things like that to me jake changes his mind shakes his head and this is one of the adventure begins and I didn’t even mention the magic card in his back pocket. This book is so full of fun and adventure and comes from the mind with a great imagination. From the showstopper of the train gargoyles to calico the dragon if this book was just about the circus it would be entertaining but with the circus and I’ll be adventure it’s even more awesome! I highly highly recommend this book I gave it five stars because I couldn’t give it more. Not to mention the guy who narrated the book did an awesome job. If you’re still reading this let me in a post script there is so much more to this book but I couldn’t do it justice with a small summary. The summary for the book doesn’t do it justice. Just know this is an awesome awesome listen!

This was a really good book!A circus with Gryphons and a dragon is what a mob guy wants for the past owners debts.The lengths his son goes to to keep people safe may not be enough.Lots of twists ad turns.Narration by James Highfield was well done. I was given this book free for an honest review.

Moral is Never Owe Money to the Mafia- Fun Read!
This was such a fun read and the narration was wonderful! I don't want to give anything away so I will keep this short. As for content warnings there is some minor language (less than Harry Potter), no graphic violence, and no sexual content- so PG and 3-4th grade up but would say it's a middle grade read. This is a great mash up of fantasy and adventure with circuses, outlawed magic, mobsters, and so many fun fantasy creatures. Basically, if the description sounded good and intrigued you then you won't be disappointed.

Great Blend of Fantasy and Real World
As one who does not traditionally gravitate towards fantasy themed books, I was not sure how much I would enjoy this story. However, I was quickly engaged and found myself looking for moments to slip away and continue the plot. Definitely one of my favorite recent reads.

Trouble Under the Big Top
A former rodeo dragon rider fights to save the circus he's been reluctantly running since his father died when gangsters come to collect a debt he didn't know he owed in this exciting, entertaining and often heart-wrenching story, I loved the classic circus story feel, the amazing menagerie animals and the understated romance between the hero and heroine.
Well worth your time.
