Book 166: The Night Circus

When I went to look back as to what I thought of this book on Goodreads it didn't exist. Nor does it exist on my Instagram. So where is it?

I did read it last July and I did enjoy it. It came highly recommended to me by my friend Kate, to whom I am grateful. I did, however, have some problems with the book as did my friend Jaclyn who also recommended it me.

The Night Circus is enticing, electrifying and magical. The plot takes many twists; some expected, like love, and others not, like the ending.

The love plot line is the one that I had the most problem with. In the middle of the book I found that it took up too much of the story when there were other things that were happening that were both more interesting and more important. That being said, that plot line was important for the idea of the living circus so it is a pain that one must bare.

My favourite parts always involved the two twins born at the circus. They are mischievous and kind, and the friend that they make along the way is fantastic.

Overall I rate this book a solid 9 out of 10. It was a fun and easy read, with just enough mystery to keep the plot flowing at a strong pace. It is something that I would consider reading again later in life. I recommend it to anyone with a taste for adventure who isn't afraid of a little magic.
