You should just read Lucy's review. It has spoilers, but I have the exact same complaints and she does a way better job of describing them.

The plot is not the focus of the book. It is the experience of the circus itself. The descriptions are very good, and I wouldn't mind visiting this magical place, even if it does remind me a bit of Hogwarts.
