The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
adventurous
mysterious
4.75
I wanted to reread this before diving into the starless sea because it’s been like 6-7 years since the last time I read this and I wanted to familiarize myself with her writing.
Reading this was like experiencing it for the first time again
The writing is so descriptive you feel like you’re actually there. I’d love to see this adapted on the big screen but also I’m afraid that somehow they won’t do it justice
I liked the romance a lot, I felt more attached to Celia’s character more so than Marco. People would argue and say the romance felt forced but it’s important to remember that the inception of the circus and its travels take place over several years. It may not feel like that because of all the POV shifts and time jumps.
My only gripe is that the ending felt so abrupt. I know the challenge was a test for endurance and not an all out fight but I guess I wanted a bigger climax.
I’d definitely recommend reading. It is an experience
