Thus, more hardcore fantasy fans may find it lacking, while casual fans of the genre will be pleased to simply be enthralled without needing to fully understand the how and why. The magic itself is boundless in many ways and only thinly explained, leaving the readers imagination to fill in the gaps, while at the same time also unburdening them with the task of puzzling out the kind of complex rules that often accompany this theme. Magic and illusion are also a large theme throughout. As a background theme this was a nice subtle inclusion that added to the circus itself and the need to keep it alive. Fandom is also touched on lightly, as the cultural phenomenon of the circus shows how such things can bring together people of disparate backgrounds and unite them through a shared passion. The philosophical nature of teaching and methodology serve as an underlying theme in this novel, though the author makes no clear argument on the matter and it only seems to be a vehicle that justifies the competition. The full video review is below along with my in depth analysis of the book.
The novel is a whimsical journey of sight and smell set mainly in a wonderfully imagined circus, with real magic coaxing the attractions to life The Night Circus is a fantasy novel that explores themes about methods of learning and teaching, fandom, mortality, imagination, and, yes, love. This novel does have a competition of sorts between two illusionists set in a circus that eventually involves a love story, though none of this really does the book justice. It was almost as if the cover writer skimmed through bits and pieces and took a wild stab in the dark. Rarely does a jacket cover description of a novel fail so mightily to represent said novel like The Night Circus. Book Review The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
