Illusionarium
Illusionarium by Heather Dixon
May 19th  2015





From the author of Entwined, a brilliantly conceived adventure through an alternate London. This sweeping, cinematic tale of an apprentice scientist desperate to save his family—and his world—is The Night Circus meets Pixar.

Through richly developed parallel worlds, vivid action, a healthy dose of humor, and gorgeous writing, Heather Dixon spins a story that is breathtaking and wholly original.

Okay, I don't like the description too much.. Not sure about Night Circus meets Pixar but I really loved the last book I read by this author. The cover is pretty, and I like the thought of apprentice scientist and it looks steam punkish. So I am excited for this book. (even if the person that wrote that synopsis should find another career.)

    I haven't read any books by this author, but I think she's done fairy tale retellings, maybe? In any case, I love alt history. I didn't really love Night Circus -- in fact I stopped reading it, but I would love to try this!
