More like 3 1/2 stars... This book isn't as much about the brothers as I would have liked, but I did enjoy the circus stuff (ties in well with my recent read, Queen of the Air, about Lillian Lietzel, who is mentioned here on a few occasions). Some of the race stuff was interesting as well, but there too it felt just touched upon. There are a lot of interesting ideas in this, but there are too many in the end so it suffers a bit.
