The demon, the art and the inability to have one’s image captured, the leaps back and forth in time. What kind of parallels? The France thing seems pretty obvious, so what others are there? Jazz Age and Paris are just two things I really enjoy in life. For one, there were a lot more characters to focus on and I really loved exploring Jazz Age Paris. Then again, I’ve started a new series called Books That Remind Me of Other Books, so it kind of feels like a reflex now.Īnyways, there are actually a lot of parallels between the two! Only, I feel Ladies was a lot more interesting than Addie. I wasn’t a big fan of Addie LaRue (actually still need to get my review up, but I’m starting to think over-hyped books simply aren’t my thing), so I was really surprised when I kept thinking of it while reading Ladies. So, Self, why these two books? Why pair them together? Warning: Spoilers for The Ladies of the Secret Circus and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue are directly ahead. I hope you enjoy this, er, likely circular and all over the place conversation with myself. Sooo…maybe something a little odd, but I had an interesting conversation with myself while reading The Ladies of the Secret Circus by Constance Sayers and, since this is my space to talk about books as I like, I’m going to, in a way, transcribe it here.
