I've been wanting to read The Night Circus ever since I heard Erin Morgenstern on The Diane Rehm show. Not only does it sound fun and I love circuses, magicians, and magic (so how could I resist), she did it as her NaNoWriMo book, which I myself have done and it was so nice to see someone become successful with one! The story was well told and I loved how she worked with the magic. It was very Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, but with two magicians that are more pawns than competitors. But the things they create and the circus in general is simply dazzling - It's a circus I would go in a heartbeat. I took it with me on vacation and couldn't put it down! Thus earning a 4 stars.
