The Night Circus
Erin Morgenstern
I recently decided I wanted to read more, so off to target I went (they have a pretty good book section there.) I saw this book sitting on the shelf and remembered a friend had recommended reading it.
I was immediately drawn in by the cover (and I know you should never judge a book by it's cover, but I'll admit it I like an interesting cover.) I flipped it over and read the blurb (I'm pretty sure it is called that.)
The book seemed a little bit dark yet very intriguing so I bought it :)
There are a few story lines going on as you read but they are all intertwining and come together at the end.
My favorite story line (and the main one) was between the two main characters, Celia Bowen and Marco Alisdair. They find themselves (without being given a choice) bound in a magical duel. The venue for this duel is The Night Circus (just know that it isn't a face to face kind off duel, but it is very creative and enchanting.)
Of course they end up falling head over heels in love (I love a good love story) which complicates things dramatically.
The Circus shows up, without notice, in a random city around the world. No one knows when it is coming or leaving. Erin Morgenstern describes her Circus with such detail. As I read about it I felt like I was there. I would love a to visit a Circus like that.
The Night Circus is gripping and leaves you guessing how it could possibly come to an end (although I could not have imagined such an ending.)
I would recommend this book to everyone. It is fantasy with enough of a fairy tale romance for me to stay interested.
Let me know if you read it!
