A compelling and quick read about sisterhood and the paths you can take in life, told through the story of an iconic magician and her unexplained disappearance during a show. A fun exploration of genre, the chapters are a mix of podcast transcripts, articles, emails, and more traditional chapters following the vanished magician’s sister. It also does an impressive job of making a magician’s tricks interesting to read about without giving away the “tricks.” Truly a feat!
