Finishing The Night Circus

It's a shame that I'm not doing a "Continuing The Night Circus" post, since I did starting and finishing  posts about it. Anyhow, during the week before spring break, I speed read this book because the due date was approaching... Unfortunately, because I had chose to procrastinate in my reading and now I have a fine and only finished 2/3 of the books I checked out. I cry every time.

Anywaaays, if you read my previous post on starting this book, you'll know that I was hooked in right away due to the unique writing style the author used.

I love how the book is not just a romance book, but it's also filled with mystery and excitement. The amount of description in the book is incredible, in a mind-boggling way that makes you wonder how much more of the boring detail you have to read. It doesn't feel like you're being swept away by a gigantic tidal wave of blah, but more like...I don't know, basking in a sea of wonder? HAHA. How to write. Just know that it's surprisingly pleasant and not overwhelming or overbearing in anyway. In fact the extensive amount of description helps add to the readers understanding and allows you to feel like you are actually in the setting. Basically magic.
