The Night Circus: A Novel

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.

This book has been one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. The intricacy of the story, how the chapter flow with one another. Amazing. It’s like one big puzzle that your piecing together, all whilst this story of love is unfolding in this game that goes beyond the circus itself. Marco and Celia will forever be the standard as far as couples go. Love them so much. I also appreciate that there wasn’t like any smut added to the story. Like there was romance and steamy scenes, but the author let their love speak for itself.
