The first novel in a mesmerizing fantasy series for fans of The Night Circus, Holly Black and Laini Taylor.
Laura Lam was raised near San Francisco, California, by two former Haight-Ashbury hippies. Both of them encouraged her to finger-paint to her heart's desire, colour outside of the lines, and consider the library a second home. This led to an overabundance of daydreams. She relocated to Scotland to be with her husband, whom she met on the internet when he insulted her taste in books. She almost blocked him but is glad she didn't. At times she misses the sunshine.
Pantomime by Laura Lam took me to an exotic and detailed world,
peopled by characters that I'd love to be friends with . . . and
some I'd never want to cross paths with
*Robin Hobb*
Pantomime is a fantastical, richly drawn, poignant take on a
classic coming-of-age story . . . a vibrant tale told with surety
and grace
*Leigh Bardugo*
A lyrical, stunningly written debut novel, which set my heart
racing with every lift of the trapeze. In Micah we have one of the
most original - and likeable - protagonists I've read in a long
time. An author to watch, without a doubt
*Amy Alward*
Welcome to a world of shills and showmen, fading tech and circus
freaks, where nothing and no-one is what it appears. An absorbing,
accomplished debut
*Elspeth Cooper*
Set in a vividly imagined world with wonderful steampunk touches,
Pantomime is a fable-like story as beautifully unique as its main
character
*Malinda Lo*
Who hasn't dreamed off running off and joining the circus? Laura
Lam's Micah does just that, discovering a world of clowns and
acrobats, con men and tricksters, corruption and incompetent
doctors . . . I look forward to more from this author
*Brian Katcher*
In Pantomime, Laura Lam has created a world which will take your
breath away, and characters you will never want to leave.
Enchanting
*Lou Morgan*
Ancient myths, vintage tech and living wonders abound in the
riotous carnival of fancy which is Pantomime. Lam paints her world
with greasepaint and stardust while exploring the notion of the
circus 'freak' with subtle brilliance. A spectacular and brave
debut
*Kim Lakin-Smith*
Hghly original fantasy that splices secondary world adventure with
the mysteries, awe and vibrancy of the circus
*Independent*
Pantomime is almost certainly the best fantasy of the year
*thebookbag.co.uk*
A completely eye-opening,enthralling debut
*Once Upon A Bookcase*
