The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
5.0
Anything I say about this book, pales in comparison to how much I loved it. The book is divided into 5 parts and tbh, I wasn't very excited while reading the first two parts. I knew it was a book with potential and I knew I was probably going to like it, I just needed a bit more to be fully invested in the story. Part 3 comes my way and I fell in love with the story and I was equally excited until I finished it.
It's a book with a very unique writing style and not only that, the author uses the reader as a very active member in the story, she's not afraid to have you guessing what will happen next. She drops hints here and there and expects you to do the work and collect them to start better understanding people's motives and how the story might progress. I loved that she made me think and didn't hand me everything on a plate.
As far as the characters go, we had an array of people to choose from and even though we didn't had time to feel attached to any of them, I didn't mind. For me, the characters is the most important aspect of a book and I was afraid I wasn't going to like this book, because we didn't know mich about the characters. Thankfully, I didn't mind as much as I thought I would, there were some very intriguing character, with my favorites being Celia, Bailey and Popet.
The whole atmosphere of the circus was electric, I loved how the book made me feel and I just wish I could be one of the reveurs, visiting the circus all the time. There weren't many descriptions of the whole venue, but I think it just added to the mystery of the circus. Also, I believe it was used as a way to make us feel like we we're part of the circus visitors and we were slowly discovering each tent.
All in all, I think it's clear I loved this book! It's different from everything I've ever read and I just think it's a little gem waiting to be discovered by readers! Also, if you want to read it, maybe listen to a play list I found on YouTube, called "Book Soundtrack: The Night Circus", it definitely boosted my reading experience!
