The Night Circus is the classic story of star-crossed lovers spun into something seemingly more intricate. With the story heavily involving fantastic elements and romance, it revolves mostly around the 'challenge', a duel going on between the two main characters. However, I was disappointed at the outcome and overall process of this ultimate battle to the death. The book was certainly different from what I was expecting, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I think this is a book that might be enjoyed and loved by one whilst also being hated by another. I, however, neither hated nor loved the book. I found it enjoyable as I read it, but it did not leave such a great impression on me when I finished it. The story was a bit slow and there were many unexplained elements of the story. Even the romantic elements of the novel do not seem genuine, it seems a bit forced. The tale seems a bit far-fetched even for a fantastical novel. There are many different unique characters that seasons the story, but they are scattered and honestly a bit too mysterious. The ending was bit predictable, but I suspected that the ending would be so because of the romantic side of the story. The idea was certainly intriguing, but I feel like the story could have been much better if the author was able to tie the story together a bit more well. Overall, the story is a charming one that grabbed my attention from the start, but I had high expectations that were not quite met, but otherwise, the story is one that is mesmerizing.
