The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

3.0

This book had a lot of hype and it was probably something i didn't enjoy as much as i thought i would. It is still a very good book it just wasn't to my taste. For me the pacing was off with this book with a lot of ranging chapter sizes. From a lot of small chapters to sizeable chapters as soon as you got your momentum and your pacing it was thrown off again. It took me a while to get through this book. I loved the idea and I love the story I just did not like how it was written. Additionally I didn't feel familiar with all the characters, and when the other Burgess sister died as a result I didn't feel much towards the death or that it was really necessary. It was necessary plot wise. But as a a character when she got hit by a train I sort of shrugged my shoulders and carried on like not much had happened. Overall I did enjoy this book and I will definitely read it again to wrap my head around it more. But from a first read it was something that really annoyed my brain.
