After season 1 wraps up with the Darkasher mystery and Philo’s mysterious past, season 2 focuses more on the divide between humans and supernaturals. With Jonah and Sophie in power, they implement segregating laws with all of the supernaturals being sequestered in the Row and banned from flying. I confess that I am probably not the intended audience for this book. I read it because I needed one more book to meet my yearly challenge and this one was short. I haven't yet watched the television show, but am interested in doing so and audible offered me the book for free during some kind of promotion, so it was in my library. All in all, not the most auspicious book selection ever. Sam Brooks of the New Zealand-based The Spinoff noted that the premise of the show is "a mish-mash of influences and inspirations, from Neil Gaiman to Mortal Engines (the novels not the film)".

It was clear there was confidence in the series – so much so Prime Video confirmed season two was on its way a full month before the first eight episodes launched. The struggle for power, for autonomy, for control, is central to both The Green Bone Saga and the first season Carnival Row, especially what becomes of those cast as powerless, as outsiders, as less.

Mark Lewis Jones as Magistrate Flute, the head constable in the Burgue who urges solidarity amongst his officers and frequently butts heads with Philo over his concern for the fae's welfare. We do get glimpses of at least three other Fae races on the show. We meet Carnival Row‘s “Trows,” likely another slang term meaning troll, Kobolds, small, almost gremlin-like spritely creatures, and Centaurs who are, well, centaurs, varying from their more classic look with fur over the more humanoid parts of their body. Prime Video/Legendary The Burgue: Carnival Row‘s Primary Location

This Audible Original follows Tourmaline Larou and her carefree life of academia and partying. She meets a country girl, Vignette, which changes the trajectory of her life. Then war arrives and nothing is certain anymore. The primary setting for Carnival Row is called The Burgue. The Burgue is a sprawling city that resembles Victorian-era London and serves as the capital for a larger nation known as the Republic of the Burgue. This republic is led by a parliamentary-style government that meets in a shouty chamber full of Proctors, with clashes between its Chancellor, Absalom Breakspear (Jared Harris), and the leader of the opposition minority party, Ritter Longerbane (Ronan Vibert). Like London, the city has stark class divides, with living conditions ranging from aristocratic splendor to polluted squalor. The Burgue’s religion vaguely resembles Christianity, with iconography focused on a figure referred to as “The Martyr.”There is a lot of stuff on that map that we don’t know anything about. Like the Bay of Monsters or the country called Witchveldt. Lots of things here that tease some very interesting potential future storylines. But the main thing for now that you need to glean from this is that the land in the west is the territory of humans, and the land in the east is the territory of the magic people known as the Fae. Oh, yeah, I said trolls. Probably more like what you’d think of as gargoyles what with the impenetrable skin and then horns, the teeth and turning to stone in daylight. In Carnival Row, "mythical creatures... have fled their war-torn homeland and gathered in the city as tensions are simmering between citizens and the growing immigrant population". [4] There is an investigation into a string of unsolved murders, questions of madness of power, unresolved love, and social adjustments eating away at whatever uneasy peace exists. As the series begins, the text on the title cards talks about how the Burgue and The Pact are fighting over Tirnanoc until the Burgue decides to bail. The Pact, which is mentioned many times but never explained, is just another human nation from Mesogeo, to the south of the Burgue. It’s an alliance between the countries Quivira and Cibola, so it’s the Quiviro-Cibolan Pact. That’s all we know, and we wouldn’t even have known that much without that map.

Customer reviews

The world is interesting, but underdeveloped in the story, probably because it's written for people who already know this world. It's told in first person by Tourmaline Larou, a fae living as a student in the city. This very short story tries to do a lot, with a sweeping love story, a rising poetic career, socialite shenanigans, and an impending war, which might be why it all felt rather skeletal or sketchy. A tighter story focused on one thing would probably play better. When not prying Legos and gaming dice out of her feet, S.W. Sondheimer is a registered nurse at the Department of Therapeutic Misadventures, a herder of genetic descendants, cosplayer, and a fiction and (someday) comics writer. She is a Yinzer by way of New England and Oregon and lives in the glorious 'Burgh with her husband, 2 smaller people, 2 cats, a fish, and a snail. She occasionally tries to grow plants, drinks double-caffeine coffee, and has a habit of rooting for the underdog. It is possible she has a book/comic book problem but has no intention of doing anything about either. Emma Fraser (September 6, 2019). "Look of the Week: Carnival Row's Steampunk Chic".
