Warda's Reviews > The Night Circus

“He will always choose the circus.”

This has to be one of the most raved about books and with good reason. It’s by far one of the most magical and imaginative stories I’ve come across and not to get all Twilighty - or maybe I am - but it has definitely imprinted itself onto my soul. I won’t be letting it go anytime soon. And impossible, most likely.

The circus itself has a life of its own. It’s the main character of the story, the main attraction that draws you in with its allure, it’s magic, mysteries and the wonders it presents.

It became the sole purpose for some and it was interesting to see how different characters within the story became affected by the circus and to see what it meant to them. For some it became a safe haven and for others a purpose to the point of destruction.

What I loved about it the most was the attention to the small details and how that showcased and emphasised that the little things do matter. It added so much character and nuance and magic to the story as a whole, becoming a vivid reality on some occasions. By the end of it, my heart was aching because I didn’t want to part with it, neither did I want it to ever end.

I’m in a daze now. I’m off to reread the last few pages again and hug the book. 🥺
