Book Transitions- From Old to New!

  Hello dear readers, I join you again, bringing absolutely positive reinforcement of my previous book, and some questons pertaining to my new one! Let's jump in and get started shall we?
  I am going to start off this post by sugesting my previous book- The Night Circus to everyone who likes fantasy of any kind. Seriously, I'm not joking all of you need to go read this book. Everything about it was 5 stars, from the description, to the characters, to even the story's whimsical orginazation. It was in essence, a perfect book after the last slightly dissapointing book I read. (See here for that review.)

  The Night Circus had several important themes in my opinion, all coming together nicely over the course of the book. One theme, (also the one I feel is most important!)is that in end, even if we are considered special and are put up on a pedistal to be displayed for all to see, we are only human. This was reinforced many times throughought the book, espicially in the end when several deaths and 'partial deaths' occured among the characters of the book- several due to regulair old human emotions blinding and changing people to the point where you can see through all the fancy acts and disguises to the real person beneath. You can see that here, in the following quote(I'll try to be the least spoilery I can be- it's harder when I get typing!)(I promise if you read it you'll understand why this event is so important!) :

"And Isobel herself has been helping to keep it balanced. Helping him. Helping them both. She looked down at the hat in her hands. White lace, caressing black woll, ribbons intertwined. Insepreable. Isobel tears at the ribbons with her fingers, pulling at the bows in a sudden fury."
 

  All in all, the book about a magical Circus, a tornament that ends with tragedy, and the interconnecting lives (ordinairy and not) that change one another to the point of no return, was honestly one of the best books I've posted about so far!

  Onto my next topic! I have begun reading The First Darkness By Mitchel Earl Gibson. So far, (and mind you I'm not even 8% into it yet) there have been 4 murders, 1 suicide and some overall stange disconnectedness that I can't wait to figure out how they all tie together. (It's better than that sounds I promise) There are several main characters from what I can tell, as we keep switching PV's.  I do have a decent few questions about it, most along the lines of:  "Why am I learning about events happening in 2 completely different time periods? WHAT IS GOING ON?? What what why can Mitchell do that with his mind and spirit that's really cool-" and other nonsense that flies through my brain as I continue to read. I will keep you updated as I read on, and can only bid you a good farewell for now!

(PS: REAAADDD THE BOOK PLEASE IT WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD. (In my opinion that is, you're free to do as you please~!)
