![]() ![]() The idea of this magical and seemingly endless circus, where there is a tent for everything and they’re all filled with such unusual but fascinating things, is a concept that sets your brain tingling with excitement. Not only that but simply from an imagination perspective this book is a delight to read. It’s certainly an interesting tale that seems to comment on the indistinguishability of good and evil (sometimes) and the loveliness of human connection. There was nothing terribly urgent about the plot, but the fraught feelings of the characters propelled me through the story. ![]() The descriptions of things suck you right in to the story and you have a hard time getting your head out of the narrative when you put the book down.ĭespite being a reasonably long book, pushing the 500 mark in some editions, every time I put this down I found myself unable to do much else other than to simply pick it back up again and keep going. It’s magical, absorbing, frilly and grounded. ![]() ![]() The way that Morgenstern writes is truly something else. I don’t even know if I fully understood everything that happened in the book, but just like The Starless Sea it was a delightful journey to go on, full of tangible characters that you fall in love with. I should’ve read this a long time ago, but whew I’m glad I have now. Genre: Magical Realism, Historical Fiction ![]()
