I've said I'm going to read this book for the last three years, and now I've finally done it. Yippee! And, happily, it's as good as they promised.
It's a masterful puzzle of a book, filled with magic, and embedded in black and white. It's the story of two illusionists, Celia and Marco, pitted against each other in a contest of skills. The chessboard for the two contenders is the night circus, an amazing circus that only opens at night, and features the most startlingly brilliant feats of magic and illusion.
I'll never forget my trip to the night circus, with all the surprises and magical twists and turns. I'm already thinking of all the people who might love this book as much as I have.
