Blurb
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands. True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead. Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.
My Opinion
Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is a dazzling and magical romantic fantasy that sweeps you off your feet. The book catches your attention right from the start and will not let you stop until you reach the climax. A circus, magical tents, and dazzling parties all seem like a dream. Celia and Marco are just lovely; they are powerful and emotionally strong. But there are indeed some loopholes in the story. The duel that the author talks about is not given much detail. There are some characters, like Chandresh and Alexander, for which the author has not given a detailed outline. I hope that the book has a sequel or a prequel that answers all our doubts.
For me, the fantastic part was Bailey's entry and his role up to the climax. That was totally an unexpected one for me. I would say that while reading the book, a reader can literally feel the magic inside the tents. The words were so realistic that I felt that I was also living the story. Definitely, the book deserves 4 stars.
