A review by ellaep
Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter

2.5

I really wanted to love it. This has been on my tbr for years, and I waited this long because I was worried I was overestimating how much I would enjoy it. And that is what happened, so... 

I was hoping for a weirder Moulin Rouge, and what I got was a super long and drawn out story about everything and nothing. I'm just so disappointed that I can't give a very good review so I won't even try. 

Maybe if I were to re-read it, knowing the vibe beforehand, I would like it more. But this book was just not what I hoped it would be. 🥲
