The Night Circus

The atmosphere this book created was so magical I didn't even care what happened to any of the story. In fact, my favourite part was the chapters with Bailey and Her Tiessen. Which is also why this book broke my fucking heart. The way the author created the visuals in your head is just amazing. 

The way the two challengers are introduced is so cool. The juxtaposition between each other but also their tutors and their teaching style. Every detail was just beautifully done. It really shapes the narrative already just by the characters. 

Really the only thing I had some trouble with was the romance. I don't know exactly why but I didn't care that much for the main couple. Obviously, you know from the very beginning that they are going to fall in love, I mean it's some classic starcrossed lovers shit. But it just didn't do it for me. Perhaps because they were straight. That could have honestly been it, I don't know. All of the side characters were just better to me. 

All though I am noticing after a few days that it really didn't leave a last impression.
