5.0

This book has been my absolute favorite book for years. The only book that I can even think of that might dethrone this is actually Morgenstern’s more recent novel, The Starless Sea. The Night Circus is absolutely beautifully written and overwhelmingly immersive; it’s like reading a literal dream. I wouldn’t recommend this if you lean heavily on fast-paced plots to stay engaged, but if you can deal with a slow pace, I absolutely, 100%, recommend this.
