THE NIGHT CIRCUS Book Review | Should You Read It? | No Spoilers 

Thank you! I got it from the library, this has been out for quite some time, so I’m guessing it should be available.

@@Memodeth it is cause I just got it from the library 📚

I know right? I love that poster, I had it mounted on foam, so I can lean it on things without hanging, too! At Bookcon this year, she said she might write a new Six of Crows book at some point! But she said it would take some years, because there is the second book of Nikolai, and Ninth House, and the tv show and all. But honestly, I’d rather have her leave it, unless she really has a great idea, cause that series feels complete as a duology for me.

Thank you!! Actually, I think I kinda guessed the ending in my TBR video, but the book still improved it a bit. But yea, I didn’t want it to happen either. Also, honestly, I cared more about Bailey and Puppet than the main characters haha.

Thank you!

Honestly, yes. However, I did like the romance scenes very much, but it did feel more about atmosphere and world-building (or circus-building) than focusing on the actual contest and the romance. The ending didn't have much feeling to it, the climax was severely lackluster. A++ for the atmosphere, B+ for the romance, D for the plot

haha if you’re still not sure, it means you should read it!

I found that it took me about six months to read the first third.. and then 7 days to read the other 2. And I really am glad I read it

I’m 8 pages in, and I’m dumb! I didn’t even understand anything yet. Plus I can’t understand this video. Maybe I’ll stick to Bevis & Butthead. I’m dumb and 56 years old.

I feel the same way😕

It’s definitely not for everyone, but I think it’s a unique reading experience.

oh no! yea it’s definitely more on the atmospheric side of things than the lore.

@@Memodeth Its not like its bad, but there are just a few annoying things, for example in this world (wich is basically ours) people supposedly doesnt know that magic exist, and Celia's father pretends to be a very clever magican, except he does stuff on stage that is obviously real magic, like turning the napkins of the audience into birds, having them fly around then turn back, why does everyone pretends that all of this were just clever tricks somehow? The employes at the circus have to know that magic is real beacuse the circus even travels and gets set up thru magic. But we completely skipped the part when this got revealed to them. Wouldnt it be an insane, world view shattering revelation to find out that magic is real? Let alone that one of their collegues could might as well be a demigod. Celia and Marco are insanely powerfull, and they are still young, i cant imagine what their mentors are capable of. What wizards are even doing in this world? They are effortlessly invulnerable, immortal, can mindcontroll a hundred person without effort. A single wizard could easily take over the world if they actually tried, yet supposedly they have no influence on the world other than having these silly little shows? Thru their powers they could revolutionise any field, wehicles, medicine, weapons etc, any magic user could get obsenely rich thru their craft yet they have no mark on the world. I know that the story wasnt suppose to be about all that, but i wish that it got at least adressed in some way beacuse it just keeps bothering me at the back of my mind while reading it. Also how everyone working at the circus became immortal all of a sudden, and they all act like its not a big deal. Yes one woman stepped in front of a train, then her sister started to ask questions. But there have to be hundreds of people working at the circus and most of them doesnt even question this insane phenomenon, those who actually talk about it, treat it like rainy weather, yeah its slightly concerning but whatever. How did they not all started to ask questions from Celia, who is the only one they know who is obviously a magic user. The idea of a magical circus that shows up night is fantastic, but its main appeal would be the mistery, except there is nothing misterious about it for the reader, we know everything about it from its conception. A story could be so exciting wich would be from the point of view of a visitor who discovers the circus but maybe stumbles upon some of its darker secrets, or something. At least this is what i first assumed the story will be like. Sorry i didnt expected this to be so long.

Second person is “you”. So in third person writing it would say “He went into the store”, whereas in second person, it would say “You went into the store.”

@@Memodeth nice, thx for explaining

I would say an alternative 19th century, so not concerned with historical accuracy.
