Book Review: 'The Night Circus' by Erin Morgenstern

I waited way too long to read this book. It lived up to, if not succeeded, all my expectations and delivered such a complete and magical world to me that I almost believed that such a world could exist. Morgenstern creates the most amazing images through her incredible descriptions and I was able to imagine the circus as a whole. The reader becomes as familiar with the circus as if you had actually been present and experienced it all first-hand. The switch between second and third person narrative helps to engage the reader and bring the circus to life.

The Rio theme is expressed through the bright colours available, especially in terms of nail lacquers, eyeliners and lipsticks.

Someone got a bit excited by new make up...
