Ladies, gentlemen, and my non-binary folks....HER
The way I went on and about my day but my thoughts kept meandering towards The Night Circus is when I realised I was in love there is no denying it. I simply cannot explain in mere words just how much I love this book, I'm quite literally speechless. I write this with a tinge of sadness as this magnificent journey of reading this book has come to an end nevertheless I'm filled with immense sattisfaction. ...more

4.5 stars. It is hard to believe this was a debut novel. Erin Morgenstern excels at concept creation and world building. Her writing is lyrical and transports the reader. The night circus is written with such care that I found myself wishing it was a real place. The reason I can't give this book 5 stars is the romantic pacing. The main leads don't meet until about halfway through the book, and from that moment fall in love incredibly fast. (view spoiler)

I am glad that I gave this book a second chance.
I dnf'd years ago due to the second person, present tense perspective that just rubbed me up the wrong way. Luckily second person was used sparingly and I got used to the present tense.
Once I got over that I was able to absorb myself in this original and creative book all about magic and the imagination. The author does a great job of portraying setting and bringing the story alive for the reader. On that count I cannot fault this book. I did, how ...more

review of another edition
2.5 🌟
Le volví a dar una segunda oportunidad a este libro y no lo sé. Creo que para mi, es un libro lento y no me emocionó hasta que llevaba el 60% de este 🥴 estuve tentada a darle de nuevo el dnf, pero el juego entre Marco y Celia me tenia intrigada y quería saber cómo terminaba todo. Que al final fue muy meh pero al mismo tiempo fue bonito que terminaran juntos.
Creo que la última parte sin duda es la mejor y tiene un cierre. Yo pensando que sería algo más abierto.
Lo gracioso es que me encariñé ...more

I purchased the physical book around a year ago so i had enough time theorizing what the story might be based on all I've heard about it from around.
I can't say that I'm quite satisfied though and certainly i am not disappointed, either.
Maybe something in between.
But there were a whole lot things that could have gone better.
P.s: i loved the writing too much. ...more
