The Carnivorous Carnival

The carnival is so vibrant yet eerie — I wonder if the setting was designed to reflect the themes of deception and hidden truths throughout the book.

They often find themselves in morally gray situations, which made me question what I would do in their place. Am I the only one who felt this tug-of-war between innocence and survival?

Each character feels so unique and unsettling — I’m curious whether they were inspired by real-world sideshows or purely from imagination.
