“Reader: Prepare to be transported . . . Erin Morgenstern’s debut novel is nothing short of dazzling, an enchanting tale about a circus that appears unannounced and is only open to visitors after the sun goes down. Within the myriad black-and-white striped tents of Le Cirque des Reves, you’ll witness sights that confound and captivate—from a room of clouds to a garden of ice or a clock that seems to hold time still. Amid the tents you will meet Celia and Marcos, two young magicians’ apprentices who are pitted against one another in a devilish contest contrived by their masters, yet drawn irresistibly to one another by the magical power of love. The Night Circus is truly original, peopled with characters you’ll wish you could meet and with magic you’ll swear must be real. It’s a modern-day fairy tale set a century ago, a story you’ll be reluctant to close, but eager to enter again.” —Kristine, The Snow Goose Bookstore, Stanwood. Buy The Night Circus from an indie.
