The circus arrives without warning. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.

Opens at Nightfall
Closes at Dawn

Full of breath-taking amazements and open only at night, Le Cirque des Rêves seems to cast a spell over all who wander its circular paths. But behind the glittering acrobats, fortune-tellers and contortionists a fierce competition is underway.

Celia and Marco are two young magicians who have been trained since childhood for a deadly duel. With the lives of everyone at the Circus of Dreams at stake, they must test the very limits of the imagination, and of their love.

Wow wow wow! Finally I have found the exact kind of book I have been looking for! A story that is original, captivating and absorbing, The Night Circus is all three! As many people have commented, I also would like to see this made into a film (as long as it was true to the book!). The narrative was expertly crafted and was mysterious enough to ensure I was captured until the end without being confusing or trying too hard to be clever. The characters jumped off the page and seemed real and authentic which is a rare quality in modern fiction. I also adored Morgenstern's style of writing which contained the perfect balance of dialogue and description and flowed easily as you read. I look forward to more books from this exciting, new and incredibly talented author!

Breathtaking. It's amazing to read such an imaginative and make-belief book that carries such maturity, sophistication, and creativity in its flow. The Night Circus is easily one of the best books I have ever read, and I doubt that anything will ever even come close to showing as much imagination. Morgenstern has created something so captivating and enchanting that you are almost caught up within its spell. She deserves great praise for this genius piece of literature, stunning.
