|summary=Nearly as impossible to review as it is to put down, this enthralling fantasy is a stunning debut. Huge recommendation. Laura Lam popped into Bookbag Towers to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Laura Lam|chat to us]].

Pantomime is almost certainly the best fantasy of the year. That's virtually all I can say about it without getting deep into spoiler territory, which as regular readers will know, I hate. (Oh, actually, I can probably just about tell you that there's a circus in there as well without completely ruining it for you.) I'm not sure whether to praise LR Lam for writing such a phenomenal book or curse her for writing one that's almost completely unreviewable. There's such a big twist early on (which, admittedly, I guessed), that I can't even really say much about the start.
