The Night Circus

I was unsure if I would like this book because I'm generally drawn to contemporary fiction but the circus is so separate to the rest of society, you don't really notice that they're writing with quills. To my surprise I liked the second person insert chapters as they didn't feel too distracting. The way in which we are introduced to the characters separately before they are brought together is just brilliant. This book does contain romance though it doesn't feel romantic. In the second half of the book the main characters choices are influenced by their complicated feelings for each other but apart from a few kisses there really is no chemistry between the characters.
