Book Review of The Night Circus

The Night Circus
reviewed on + 56 more book reviews


This is less about plot (although there is an effective plot) or character (although there are characters you can like) and most about gorgeous, compelling description of magic. Don't let that turn you off. Even if you are not thrilled with description, this is done way better, and it will keep you going. I love also that the magic in this book becomes a way of communicating secretly and from afar. That's not a spoiler--don't worry! But it's a charming feature of the book.
