I enjoyed reading this in print for a reread (though listening to Jim Dale narrate the book was a truly magical first experience with The Night Circus). I had forgotten a lot of the details, but not everything, so I was amused by which parts felt new to me.
This is not a book for someone who wants a decisive story with a plot that makes sense. This is not for readers looking for a straightforward story. But I knew going into it that this was a wandering tale where words were magic and nothing was what it seemed, and so I enjoyed it very much. Again.
