I was also often confused by what was going on. I felt like often I was being told what was happening than witnessing it for myself. Things would just happen and then the author explains it later, which isn’t a great reading experience. There wasn’t a solidified plot to the story and the story moved in a few different directions. The ending felt like it took forever to get there. To be truly honest with you, I almost DNF’d the book a few times. While beautifully written, I felt myself searching for an answer to a simple question what the heck is going on? However, the book carries with it a lot of flaws. Everything seemed to be enchanted and the writing itself made it all feel so enchanting. Magical tents where you can make wishes and dreams that come to life it sounds exactly like the kind of circus I’ve always wanted to go to. The whole book is shrouded in an air of mystery, which is just so fantasy to my mind. I also loved that Morgenstern included a 2nd POV for you to follow so it felt like you were in the circus along with everyone else. I loved reading about Bailey and his experiences with the circus and I love the final decision Celia and Marcus made. There are other components to this story that add a layer of mystery to the ending, which I really liked.

But when someone decided they wanted to make a circus filled with imagination and magic, it became the playground for both Celia and Marcus to show off their magical skills before the very end. They’re trained by these two old magicians who have been fighting each other by proxy for centuries. The Night Circus is about two people, Celia and Marcus, who since they were children were told they’re to duel to the death at some point in their lives. I think I’ll feel much better after I finish writing this. After finishing The Night Circus last night, I had so many thoughts and questions that I just needed to put them down on paper. I didn’t think I would be reviewing this book, but here I am.
