The Night Circus review -- Erin M.

Title: The Night Circus
Author: Erin Morgenstern
Format: library hardcover ($26.95 US)


























I AM Ultimately Conflicted

So, let's do this like an Amazon review for a skincare product:

PROS:
Beautiful Writing
Genius Premise
Entertaining Mystery
Fantastic Ending
Highly-Researched Worldbuilding

CONS:
Boring as Something Really Boring
Not-so-Connected Characters
Plot Confusion
Timeline Confusion
Overall WTF-Confusion

The Night Circus is one of those books that you love but at the same time you really don't, for the reasons lifted above. If you're okay with a plot that moves . . . well, not at all, but you can still maintain being enraptured from the gorgeous writing and the mysterious elements, this is definitely the book for you. If a nonexistent plot makes you want to throw a book out of your window, I recommend you find something else to read.
