I love the Night Circus and have been looking forward to Erin Morgenstern's next book. Maybe my expectations where too high? It was very hard for me to get into the book. I never was swept away by the story. Probably because the story is confusing. For a long time I had no idea what was going on, and still don't. This probably is the kind of book you need to read twice to be able to understand it. Which I won't do. There are many short stories in the book, which interrupt the main plot. It annoyed me, since not all stories seems to be relevant for the rest. I kind of liked the ending, but this book left me feeling confused.

I would give infinite stars if that were possible. Erin Morgenstern is so incredibly magical. She weaves the best stories. Despite setting a goal for how many books I want to read this year, I slowed down and savored this one. It was worth it. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!!

"Los libros siempre son mejores al leerlos que al explicarlos"

Esa frase sacada del libro es el mejor resumen que puedo dar, porque es un libro díficil de explicar en sí mismo.

Es un libro sobre libros que cuentan historias que están dentro de otras historias, de mitos, leyendas… de una manera que nunca había visto, a pesar de que es el segundo libro que leo de la autora porque "El Circo de la Noche" me gustó mucho. Con este puedo confirmar que su forma de escribir toca de forma diferente al lector, y que una vez más ha creado un mundo en el que es tan fácil perderse como encontrarse.

Probablemente no entendí todo lo que había que entender, pero creo que es el punto del libro y eso lo hace todavía mejor :) Es un libro complejo al que hay que entrar con la mente abierta a la imaginación (y sin leer la sipnosis mucho mejor)
