“The Night Circus” By Erin Morgenstern 

 

📕 Edition: Audiobook 

 

🎪 A tale of enchantment and mystery that I read as part of a group read on TSG's new readalong feature, but it's not one I had heard of before nor would I probably have ever picked up on my own. 

 

The narrative unfolds with the arrival of the circus, a fantastical spectacle that materializes without warning, captivating all who enter. The heart of the story lies in the fierce competition between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, pawns in a game of skill and destiny. 

 

Morgenstern's prose weaves a spellbinding tapestry, creating a vivid atmosphere that stimulates the senses. The circus itself becomes a character, a stage for a remarkable duel of imagination and will. Yet, despite the stakes, Celia and Marco find themselves tumbling into a deep, magical love. 💫 

 

While the story held my interest, it didn't quite reach the heights of greatness for me.
