I loved Erin Morgensterns "Night Circus" so I was excited to read this book and bought the paperback.
Not going to lie, I had a hard time getting into it, although I loved the sad clown on the pier. A lot of characters are introduced in the beginning (because of the whole ten to one thing, I think) but after about the first 20-30 pages, I was able to get into it better. My favorite characters amongst all of them became pretty clear at the beginning.
What I was nervous about with this book was reading an entire work of fiction with a moving plot that's supposedly put together by several authors, because I wasn't sure how that would work, but I ended up really liking it. There wasn't such a vast difference in the writing styles that it became distracting or anything like that.
In the end, I really enjoyed reading this book. I didn't find it overly predictable, but had enough of a bread crumb trail to follow and keep me intrigued. Bobby, Nell, and the little girl were definitely my favorite characters.
