The Night Circus by Erin MorgensternMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The night circus shows up in various towns without warning and leaves just as quickly. The tents and performers are stunning in their black and white themed show, leaving patrons all over the world wondering where the circus will spring up next. Inside the circus are a cast of characters and managers who are all part of a bigger picture: a game set up by two masters of magic. Each has a protegee that he must guide to defeat the other. The only problem is the two protegees are falling in love with each other...
I loved this book! The imagery, the characters, the storyline, all seemed very original and vibrant as you read along. I've never really read anything like it and will probably reread this book again someday. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good fantasy and/or Victorian novel. A warning though: the book skips around a lot and can be confusing if you don't pay attention to the dates at the beginning of each chapter.
