The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
4.0
I heard good things about this book and after reading it I can definitely understand why everyone loves it so much.
The story is enchanting and truly magical. I love books set in the Victorian era, between the 19th and 20th century. Everything just seems more poetic and mysterious. Here the author introduces a lot of different elements. She transports the reader through time. Where one chapter would be happening before the circus was formed, the next would show it during it's peak. All of the elements connect slowly throughout the book like pieces of a puzzle.
I always thought this would be a love story. There is a bit of romance but for me the book is more about how the circus came to life and how the love for art can unite people and cause new friendships to form.
