Jester by Brielle D. Porter – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Jester by Brielle D. Porter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jester is an exciting fantasy that combines paranormal magic with performative illusions. Young adult and teen readers who enjoy magic tricks and circus skills will love this story!
Lisette, who goes by the stage name Mirage, is struggling to survive in a competitive world of entertainers. Relying on every show to pay for her next meal, she is desperate for a more stable and lucrative gig. Unfortunately, there’s a lot standing between her and the coveted position of Queen’s Jester, including her talented and beautiful competitor Luc and the fact that her father killed the King.
I particularly enjoyed how the dynamic between Luc and Lisette evolved over the course of the story. And there’s a great cast of supporting characters we meet along the way, such as the somewhat sleazy Del, and the mischievous young Cillian.
This book gets five stars from me! Totally enchanting, I struggled to put it down.
