Spectacle 〰️
Rachel Vincent has done it again. She managed to somehow up the high stakes of the first book and turn the dial past its maximum point. If you thought life at the menagerie was horrible, life at Savage Spectacle makes Metzger's place sound like a pretty sweet deal.
In Spectacle, the horror of captivity has been amplified. Sure, it may seem like a step up from the carnival at first, but with the introduction of the collars, it's a new nightmare. And once again, Vincent's writing is so superb I felt just as trapped and helpless as Delilah and her fellow captives. Granted, it's not a nice feeling, but I enjoy immersing myself in the world I'm currently reading, and Vincent's master storytelling does just that.
Reading this book makes me feel so many emotions about situations I've never been in and hopefully never will be. But that's what I love about Vincent and her works, how she can transport you to her world from the safety of your own home.
If you enjoyed the first book, Menagerie, you'll surely enjoy this one just as much. The world-building is expanded, and fresh plot twists. The writing is engaging, and you'll never want to put the book down. Actually, if you're a fan of Vincent in general, this book is for you. Just make sure to have the third (and final) book ready for when you finish because you are going to want to immediately fice back into this story the moment you finish the second book.
