I have never understood the Circus and how it works.
In True Blood/SVM you understand why Fangtasia is succesful. Vampires have just become a part of society, and it's one of the few places where you are guaranteed to see a real-life vampire in the flesh.
In the AB universe, vampires and shapechangers are EVERYWHERE. And it's insulting to have a place where you can go and stare at them, as if they were freaks in a sideshow. Although why I'd need a place to stare at them when they working in the fucking supermarket is anybody's guess.
I also don't understand why the Circus is written as being a family place. Um, this is a place where shapechangers and vampires do around naked and do sexually provocative things. Who wants to take their fucking kids there?????
