I'm surprised. My 50 book challenge while slowing down during the summer has still moved fairly well. I think YMBC and the endless pile of books in my bedroom is the encouragement I needed. Book 42 The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern from Doubleday Canada was a departure as I read it on my Kobo which was a nice change.
The Night Circus is a fun book. I won't say it is a book that I couldn't put down, but I was always ready to pick it back up. Due to my summer schedule it wasn't uncommon to be away from the book for a couple of days and I am happy to say I didn't feel the need to reread anything making it really easy to keep moving forward. Marco and Celia are both interesting characters who would probably be considered somewhat mistreated by today's standards.
I loved the circus as the playground for a very complex, nonspecific challenge to occur as well as the nursery for a deep abiding love to develop. I found all of the characters to have multiple layers making them much believable. It is curious to me how Poppet was able to predict the future of the circus while Celia believes her with no real questions asked.
The Night Circus is a wonderful read and I am thrilled that Marco & Celia get what they want and deserve at the end of the book. It is really too bad that their parents/teachers let their egos ruin the lives of these two dynamic people.
