CBR Bingo entry Backlog. This is gonna sound weird, but this novel lost me when it started introducing too much plot.

To work off a debt, Hastin leaves his village in India to work as an elephant keeper for a man who wants to restart his circus. Innocent Hastin only sees a way to help his mother and ill sister, not […]
