The Night Circus

Okay...Listen to me..I debated very hard about giving this book 3 stars. Mostly because I get why people are into it. However this book was insanely hyped up. INSANELY. This books screams MAGICAL...And I was waiting to be sucked into the magic.. and instead I got detail after inane detail. That doesn't equal magical or fun or great suck me into this world and never leave story telling.

Celia and Marco are flat and boring as main characters. Both of they're crazy ass fathers had more life in them. And crazy they were. I also would have liked to know why the two men were rivals or what started the competition of finding to proteges to battle to the magical fucking death. Because I feel like that would have been a better story than this one.

Fierce competition? Uh where, bitch? Where? I was expecting a massive stage where two magicians go at it. Quite the opposite.

There are also different timelines so the book is bouncing back and forth. One timeline makes it seem like maybe that character plays a bigger role? Maybe? I don't know...its just more damn details. Not to mention that to books moves slowly. VERY VERY slowly.

Now, hear me out, I'll never say to not read a book. And the scene settings and all the descriptions/details are very pretty. I, however, need more. I get why people fell in love with those. For the same reason I'd wager some think Charlie Hunnam is quite hot and I'm just like meh. I get it..it's just not for me.
