I think for many people, it’s the type of the thing that would capture their imagination. Everywhere, the stars sparkle and tents glow and candlelight flickers, all nestled in bittersweet romance with magic floating in the air. In short, it’s a cream-puff of a book, replete with empty calories, baked together tenderly with rather lovely and quite capable writing. The main characters are beautiful and talented and tragic and ever-so-star-crossed lovers. Morgenstern’s world is a dreamy and enchanted one, and the book devotes a lot of time to describing the many beautiful and varied exhibits and displays inside, from the ice garden to the animal menagerie and the magical cloud maze and candle-lit wishing tree and so on, with a cauldron of white flames that resides that the circus’s center and the clock tower that greets visitors at the entrance.

In The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, two magicians are engaged in a rivalry that takes place via their proteges. I did manage to find this and a John Grisham novel or something, so I went with this (obviously), though I had previously read enough reviews to have some idea that it wasn’t something I would have chosen otherwise.

They had this really nice library-slash-bar with these huge glass windows that was bordered on all sides with cozy reading nooks and really comfortable leather pull-out chairs all over place - the only problem was the book selection itself left something to be desired. Views were fantastic, though.Īnyway, like an idiot, I didn’t bring any reading material with me, so I was stuck relying on the ship’s library to find some way to spend my time. Oh, and the wi-fi was something ridiculous too like $50 a day, and even then the connection is really spotty.
And it’s a bit of a long ride going from Seattle (our port of departure) to Alaska, so even a week-long cruise means you’re spending a vast majority of the time on the boat. I went with my family on a cruise to Alaska a while back and found out that cruises are a little boring if you’re not interested in stuffing your face all day long.
