I can‘t believe I‘d never read this. And yes, yes I am crying.

This was a trip. For a while, I was certain to be disappointed by finding out it was all a drug induced haze. Thankfully, I was wrong, and I have to admit that even though I dream quite vividly, I started dreaming of the circus from the day I started reading it.

dabbe I still want to go there!!! 🤩🤩🤩 2w
angieinwonderland I feel like I did while I read it, but even in my sleep, I knew it wasn't as good as going there. 2w

I‘m kind of sad to give it a ‘so-so‘. Bought this copy many years ago for my mum, then borrowed it to read because she liked it. I also bought a copy for my sister, who loved it. It has sat patiently on my #tbr shelves for about 10 years. I‘ve moved it on & off my bedside table, never getting into it.
A buddy read popped up on Insta & I decided to commit. And now I just feel underwhelmed. It wasn‘t for me I guess. Glad I finally read it 💪.

maich I didn't like it too🤷‍♀️ 2w
Caroline2 Yep I didn‘t like this one either. 2w
Susanita I loved the world building but thought the story was kind of meh. 2w
quietlycuriouskate It made me want to go to the night circus but as for the story... was there even a story? 🤷 2w
Rissreads It‘s always sad to give a book a So-So or Pan because you know that the book is a writers baby and important to them and they worked hard on it. But as readers we can‘t like everything all the time. This book also did nothing for me. 6d

This was a reread for my bookclub and it was so lovely to revisit. I think I appreciated the atmospheric meandering more, knowing what I was getting into. The Starless Sea is still my favorite of her two books though. She really knows how to create a magical world that you want to step inside

Characters were well developed, I really adored this circus troupe of misfits. This was also a story about toxic relationship, and I felt for Ruth. It's awful what people can do to each other, saying they love you.

I adore circus as a setting, and time travelling - this had both! I loved how this made me to think about who I really am.

There happened pretty much, there was one subplot that wasn't needed.

There were great parts of this book. But there were also more parts where I didn‘t care. I was a little disappointed in the ending. To quote 10 things I Hate about you, Can you just be whelmed?

I‘ve had a great reading month! The Book of Speculation takes the February slot. It couldn‘t not. It felt tailor-made for me. The collection of memoir/science essays by Nell Greenfieldboyce, Transient & Strange, was pretty fab, too, though! If I had to guess right now, I‘d say T&S may end up snagging one of the bonus spots for the first half of the year.

Turtle Diary could sweep the whole board. It‘s pretty singular. 🐢
