Mixed feelings.

The Night Circus (2011) is a phantasmagorical fairy tale set near an ahistorical Victorian London in a wandering, magical circus that only opens at night and closes at dawn.

Called Le Cirque des Rêves (The Circus of Dreams) …

Well written. But what is it?

Magic realism?

A romance novel?

We are supposed to get interested in some sort of contest between two talented people: Celia Bowen and Marco Alisdair.

I couldn’t get into it. And neither could either of the two.

It’s more of an ongoing history of a unique circus.

Mixed feelings.
