Better than the first

Revisado: 11-03-23

I really enjoyed the first book even with the cliches and it all works out for the protagonist plot points. I was invested and I liked the character relationship building. Consistent with the growth of the characters, this one seemed to be a bit more mature, I guess. I’m not really one to enjoy military and war fight and die scenes, but this was a-ok. The story was just a lot bigger and more thought provoking. And I super like Ragnar as a character.

Loved this reimagining

Revisado: 11-16-22

This was a lovely listen, the narrator is wonderful. The story was so well done and beautifully written. I can’t wait for book 2, if there is one.

A beautiful love story

Revisado: 03-19-19

The summary doesn’t really do this story justice. It was beautifully written, and I was captivated with it.

A bit YA?

Revisado: 07-01-16

I liked the overall arc of the story, but this one dragged for me. Everything seemed to have been rather drawn out.

What beautiful story telling

Revisado: 12-29-15

Where does The Night Circus rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is one of the best audiobooks I've listened to, hands down. It is such beautiful story telling and the narration is fantastic.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved that the story was a *story*. It wasn't focused on magic for magic's sake. The focus was on character, world, and relationship development. I was swept up immediately and never lost it due to forced silly magic.

Which character – as performed by Jim Dale – was your favorite?

The clock maker.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I don't know ... but I imagined the lead, if this were a movie, as being casted by Mary from Downton Abbey.

Any additional comments?

love love love this story.

Magic without the eye rolling

Revisado: 11-18-15

This story telling of magic people in the backdrop of 1930s Americana is just fantastic. I appreciate having a story of magic without the need to force every origin detail down your throat. The whys and hows come out through the plot.

I couldn't wait to hear the next bit of story in my car. The characters are all fantastic, and there are no eye-rolling moments of dialog. Bronson Pinchot is AMAZING in this. Just wow.

I don't usually do Zombie, but this was good

Revisado: 07-03-15

I don't know why but zombie stories don't usually keep me interested. Creepy, sure, but I dunno. Just not my thing. However, I thought this story was unique and interesting; I quite enjoyed it.
The only thing I am annoyed at is the scientist in the story is the same ol' cold-hearted machine-head who can't seem to speak a sentence without jargon or interact with emotion. This is a trope I'm rather bored of.
Nonetheless... it was a good alternate to the virus tactic. Recommend!

Fun, unique, & quick

Revisado: 02-17-15

I've been trying to read/listen to more science fiction. I stopped for a while because it seemed like story after story was trope after trope, and the obvious shoved down the proverbial throat. So, im in the hunt for different stories, or
If there are tropes, at least with a twist or an olive.
Here is a story I've never heard, so therefore it has everything going for it. Aliens yes, but not like you've read before. Hollywood yes, but with more comic relief and no vapid rambling.
Also, narration was excellent. Cheers.

First scifi hit for me in a while

Revisado: 02-08-15

SF stories have been pretty disappointing for me lately, so this was just surprisingly good in comparison. I didn't like the name, nor the first 10 minutes of the book. But then I got hooked. I am not sure what it was about this book, but I was in. Totally in. I would listen on my way to work and have to snap out of it to make sure I didn't miss my exit! The characters are compelling in their realish personalities, the story is unique despite alternate world/end of the world tropes, and even the superhero qualities are written with fresh ... freshness.
