I loved The Night Circus, the author's debut so was really looking forward to this her second novel. The production certainly promised a magical read. Possibly...probably...but I found myself so disappointed (or maybe I am not clever enough). Magical, yes - but somewhat incoherent. I think the whole is a metaphor for writing a book and the way imagination works potentially a threat to reason. But I am not sure...form over substance? Can someone enlighten me?
