The Night Circus

The Night Circus, by Eric Morgenstern

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is a book unlike any other. Written with incredible grace, the book follows the journeys of two young magicians, Marco and Celia. Marco, with his shyness and powers as a illusionist, and Celia, the young daughter of Prospero the Enchanter are competing in a game. With a circus cloaked in black, white, and every shade in between as the backdrop, Celia and Marco compete with each other through a series of constructing tents, filled with wonder and magic. The story begins at their youth, then explains the process of their training. I highly recommend this book because it has been written with extreme thought and beautiful craftmanship. The plot is that of their lives, and though the circus journeys around the world as a ‘circus’, the two stay in love though out. This book shows just how deep true love is, and how truly magical it can be.
