A review by rahnawyn
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

5.0

The most common thing that I had heard about this book before picking it up was that it was very slowly paced. I both agree and disagree with this. Yes, there was a lack of quick action that you find in many other books, but at the same time the pace was perfect for this story. Though it was 'slow' it grabs you and drags you into the setting, into the circus, keeping you there until the wee hours of the morning when you finally finish the book.

And it's just so gosh darn pretty. Everything about it is beautiful. The writing manages to flourish without going too far - the descriptions are lavish without crossing over that fine line.

I loved it, but I can see why people wouldn't.
