Carnival Row: Tangle in the Dark

Product Information

In the world of Carnival Row, the Fae are races of beings whose history extends well prior to that of humanity. Their homelands, such as Tirnanoc, were long considered a place of myth and legend. While the Fae races mostly kept to their ancient traditions, human technology grew. Eventually, the humans began to invade and plunder the Fae lands for resources. This ultimately led to a war between human nations. The Fae we encounter on Carnival Row are refugees from that war, living in the human city known as The Burgue, mostly laboring as indentured servants, paying off debts to humans who sponsored their voyages there. Carnival Row‘s Fae Races Prime Video/Legendary Jim Sturges lives in the lovely, boring suburb of San Bernardino where nothing much happens. Until a 45-year-old mystery surfaces and the trolls show up. 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. Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne star in Carnival Row, a Victorian fantasy world filled with mythological immigrant creatures whose rich homelands were invaded by the empires of man. 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.

The last big aspect of the world we need to talk about is magic. As with “Game of Thrones,” magic is not prevalent in everyday life in the Burgue for most people. But magical happenings are important to the events of “Carnival Row.” One prominent character is a Haruspex, who is able to see the future. This wasn’t a naturally occurring phenomenon, at least for this specific character — she received that power by killing a previous Haruspex when she was young. I know, I know. You’re thinking, “del Toro wrote a kids book?” He did and while it’s creepier than some, it was one of our read-aloud books when our kids were 5ish and 7ish and they did fine. Then again, my then-5, now-7 has been known to walk up to me, look me straight in the eye, and say, “I’m creepy, Mommy.” Carnival Row features a number of interesting magical and human characters. Here are the most important ones: I actually listened to Akata Witch and it was a stunning presentation. Read by Yetide Badaki, of Bilquis ( American Gods) fame, this is one of those audiobooks that puts you in mind of the times when stories were passed down orally, when listening with a group activity, and when the tellers of tales were some of society’s most important members. I really can’t recommend the audiobook highly enough. Jade City and Jade War (The Green Bone Saga) by Fonda Lee (Orbit)

Most of the story is set in a fictional city called The Burgue where humans co-exist with magical faeries (or fae), with high tensions between the two groups. Despite the historical aesthetic, the story itself is pretty time-agnostic and is really not of this world at all. The Burgue is the capital city of the Republic of The Burgue, an independent nation. The fae are refugees from their home continent of Tirnanoc, which has been colonized by human empires, particularly the forces of the Pact.
