I loved the feeling of the book. How at the first half I was confused and then at the second half everything is connecting in intersting way. 
My only take is that I didn't like how there is so many insta-love there is.

like you met this person for the first time fo like a five minutes and you are already in love and already kissing and doing the deeds ??!!

Overall I liked it it was fun read.

It took me a while to get into reading this book Ngl but it is now defined one of my favorite books I’ve ever read. There’s something so enthralling about it and the prose. The characters and the stories.

I’ll be thinking about Fate and Time and the inkeeper and the moon until I die I think

I didn't particularly like Nigh Circus but my experience reading this has given me a better understanding of what I missed in my reading of NC. Erin Morgenstern's books require that you put in effort to carve out the plot for yourself from the layers and layers of stories that she frontloads. And after you put in the effort to map out your understanding of the book she rewards you with incredibly gratifying reveals that knit the book together into one seamless plot. As someone who has like 2% understanding of symbolism, I was rather proud of myself for understanding this book but I'm sure rereads will reveal dozens more layers.

This is a book for your whimsical dark academia aesthetic book lovers. It's a book about books for the bookish folk who long to disappear into the story itself. 

Incredibly immersive and easy to get lost in.
