The premise for this book is a simple one: two magicians are pitted against each other in a duel and the Night Circus is the venue for this duel. And the author could have done so much with a premise such like this, but, unfortunately, she didn´t. The plot was pretty much non-existent and the litt...

Erin Morgenstern takes readers on a decades long battle between two magicians: The Night Circus just appears one night without warning and it is the most interesting place you will ever be. All are drawn towards it and no one will experience it the same, or each time they visit. But the circus is ...

This is wistful and imaginative and quite beautiful, although I don't know that its beauty hits me the way it does other reviewers, especially as I didn't connect with the characters. Still, it's quite romantic and magical in a way that is still grounded very much in the historical 19th century.

This book has an atmosphere to it. And that really makes it stand out.I really enjoyed the descriptions of the circus. Maybe even more than the story itself, even though, I quite liked it.There is, however, a small something I can’t put my finger on that doesn’t let me give all the 5 stars.

OMG this book was amazing. It was a sensory adventure--the sights, the sounds, the smells, the tastes! And I loved the second-person POV walk through the circus, and how it corresponded to the plot of the story. This book gave me everything I ever wanted from a magic circus and more.

This book was a big ball of confusion for me. I'm not really sure that I was ever certain what was going on. For a good bit I thought two separate characters were one character pretending to be two different people. It was kind of a mess in that respect, for me at least. That being said, while ...

I just loved this book, it was delightful. It had me enraptured right from the beginning. Even when things aren't happening, connections are being weaved, everything is interconnected. Even though many of the characters could perform feats of wondrous magic, many of them longed for the magic of the ...

Some books are a fantastical conjuring of a world. Of course the circus is a metaphor for the book. This book.
