Book description
The First Bright Thing Review
J.R. Dawson's debut novel hit me like a perfectly executed trapeze act-unexpected, breathtaking, and impossible to forget.
Ringmaster Rin possesses a gift that would make any performer jealous: she can leap through time itself. Leading the Circus of the Fantasticals with her wife Odette, Rin has created something magical in post-World War I America-a sanctuary for Sparks, those blessed and cursed with extraordinary abilities.
The story unfolds like a series of interconnected performances, each chapter building tension as Rin navigates between her present circus and glimpses of a dark future. Dawson's background in theater shines through every page, transforming what could have been a simple fantasy into an intimate character study wrapped in spectacle.
What makes this audiobook particularly compelling is how Dawson balances wonder with genuine threat. The Circus of the Fantasticals isn't just a whimsical escape-it's a fragile refuge threatened by forces both temporal and malicious. Rin's nemesis, a shadowy ringmaster from her past, looms over the narrative like a storm cloud, making every moment of joy feel precious and temporary.
The prose moves with the same fluid grace as Odette's trapeze work, never losing sight of the human cost behind the magic. Dawson understands that the most powerful stories aren't about spectacle alone, but about the people who create it. Each character feels lived-in and authentic, their supernatural abilities serving the deeper story of found family and survival.
This isn't just fantasy-it's a meditation on how we face tomorrow when we can see the darkness coming.
