Book Blog #10, The Night Circus

The Night Circus                                                                                                      by Erin Morgenstern
The Night Circus
It arrives without warning. No one can track it, and no one can expect it. On the inside of the black and white striped tents, there is a unique and sensational experience that puts most bystanders in awe. It has the most exquisite acrobats and performers like none you will ever see anywhere else. Every aspect of the performance has been perfected, from the central clock to the lace on the costumes. It is called Le Cirque des Reves, and it is open only at night.
Celia and Marco have been trained since childhood by the best magicians in the world in preparation for the in-avoidable duel. The two fall in love. The epic romance of two loving magicians and an astounding circus combine, to create a gripping story with many twists and turns.
This book was amazing! I really enjoyed it because there were surprises around every turn, and the writing style makes you not want to stop reading. The storyline of the book was also interesting and unique compared to books I have read previously. The characters were very well developed along with the descriptions of most of the settings. At most points of the book, you could actually envision yourself in the circus watching the performances.
There is quite a bit of romance in this book, although it does not take away from the book as a whole. There is also minor language, but yet again it did not make you loose interest or want to stop reading.

  1. Great review! I've been looking at this for a while, but I always seemed to dismiss it as adult fantasy. I think I'll read this! Nice work!
