The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
3.0
Enchanting but confusing
3.5 stars. Though the story was enchanting and beautifully written, I often found myself lost and confused in the many details. I struggled to keep the many characters straight that popped in and out. Now I will give the disclaimer that I read this book while caring for a newborn, but I do not think my confusion was all due to sleep deprivation. There were so many elaborate details that did not seem to iron out neatly. However, overall it was an interesting story and not predictable which I appreciate. I still found myself rushing through the end wanting to know what happened.
