After reading Caraval and not quite satisfied with it, I heard that the night circus is so much better story compared to Caraval. At first yes, it was wonderful and attractive but you'd need to focus or you'd be lost to the plot. Then I realized the story is too slow for my liking. And I didn't get the point of the long and slow story. The similarities to Caraval are a Japanese side character and setting. And just it.

I thought I would love this book. But reading The Night Circus, somehow, makes me exhausted.

I love the premise, though. That's caught by my eyes and makes me decided buying this book. But for me this book is boring, too much descriptions and it makes me want to give up everytime. I can attach with its characters--ther are flat, one dimensional characters and there are no character developments.

It's just not my kind of book. I wish I could love this book. I tried to like it, but I just couldn't. 

If you look for a good storytelling, I cannot say you can find it here. This is not a character driven book. It has zero character development and sluggish pace with almost no plot progression.... Too much filler. The only correct praise is the lush description of setting... Try it if you like that kind of book.
