A review by hyithia
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

dark emotional mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

- illustrative atmosphere 
- strong writing style
- interesting plot in that it is mysterious with a unique concept
- somewhat confusing timeline; was hard to keep track of everyone and everything
- main characters were not well developed; by the end of the book I still felt as if I didn't know them, but maybe that was intentional?
- characters were likable, but not lovable
- especially enjoyed the side stories; those characters were more developed 
-
Marco is not very cool to leave Isabelle in a situationship like that, and Celia is for sure not a girl's girl

- pacing was good
-
Basil fumbled bruh

- ending actually made sense and resolved things nicely
- clever foreshadowing
-
romance came out of no where, but I am a fan of romance. maybe in the late 1800s people just fell in love without really getting to know each other? regardless, them making each other special love letter tents was really cute
