Taianominen ja hätkähdyttävä lukukokemus, jonka aiheuttamaa tunnetta on vaikea kuvailla. Ylipäätään tästä kirjasta on vaikea sanoa mitään. Yösirkus on unenomainen ja vangitseva tarina, joka lumoaa lukijan. Pitkästä aikaa kirja, jota paloin halusta lukea eteenpäin ja joka jäi pyörimään ajatuksiin. Tarinassa on uskomattoman uniikki tunnelma, joka on selvästi kirjan paras asia. Tarina on täynnä yksityiskohtia sekä tietynlaista runsautta. Se kulkee eteenpäin eri hahmojen ja eri aikatasojen kautta, joka tekee tarinasta erityisen herkullisen. Itse ainakin palasin vuosilukuihin jatkuvasti pysyäkseni kärryillä. 

Yösirkuksen taianomaisuudesta huolimatta, siitä silti puuttui jotain. Celian ja Marcon rakkaudesta puuttui mielestäni syvyyttä eikä hahmoihin muutenkaan kiintynyt. Vaikka nämä olivat persoonallisia, niin silti hahmot jäävät etäisiksi. Lopetus oli omaan makuun ehkä turhan pliisu. 

Lopulta Yösirkus on moniulotteinen teos, jsota löytyy varmasti pureskeltavaa vielä seuraavallekin lukukerralle.

The last quarter of the book is so frustrating. I despise Marco with every fiber of my being.
