I like this book overall. I felt like the characters were interesting and the setting provided for a lot of good development. It was a bit jarring to understand the time jumps at first as it would go into the future and then back into the past. My incredibly nitpicky comment is that the book chronicles when and where they are and all I could think about when I read those was the historical context of what somebody in 1870s Massachusetts would be experiencing and I feel like it took me out of the magical experience.

I was a little confused about how Celia and Marco became ghosts (not ghosts) at the end, if they're still even there. The ending was just a little confusing to me

I went into this book having heard the intriguing warning "no plot just vibes" a statement I second having just finnished it.
I would say that the plot really starts going around 350 pages in. Before that Morgenstern is weaving tiny threads into a delicate tapestry that concludes in awe-inspiring display.
This book is truely magic and if you do not mind a slower pace it is well worth the journey.

This is the third time I've read The Night Circus, and I love it just as much as I did when I read it for the first time a decade ago. The language is beautiful and the characters are so easy to love, flaws and all. With every read through, I see new details, understand innuendos I hadn't caught my first time around, and fall in love with the magic of the circus just as deeply. The moment I finished the book, I wanted to open it back up to the first page. I am a rêveur to my core, and as the name suggests, I dream of the circus.
