A circus that appears only at night sounds like it’ll give you delicious goose bumps, like Something Wicked This Way Comes. There is nothing sinister about this circus at all. It’s beautiful and dreamy and refreshes your soul. Two young people are bound to a competition by their magic masters. I was expecting something like this:

The blurb is misleading. It had me thinking that Isabel was really Celia’s alias. The love story doesn’t start until after ha ...more

There really isn't much that I can say about this book because I loved it so much. Everything about it. The only thing that I found tricky was keeping track of the ever changing dates that started each chapter and sometimes jumped around but...that's more of a me issue than anything. The romance was sweet and I liked that it took its time, and the setting....wow. Just wow. Every scene in the circus made me feel like I ...more

Note: I only read 20% of this book before jumping ship. Review based on first 20%.

I've had this book on my TBR shelf for a few years now. I mean, how could I not want to read it? It's about a circus (yay!) at night (double yay!) and magicians (triple yay!) and maybe even carnies (quadruple and quintuple yay!!!). You get the picture. Plus, everyone and their mom loved this book. It was everywhere.

So after all that hype, I went into this with fairly high expectations. Here's what I got--a handful ...more

Maybe can up this to 3.5 stars.
The writing in this book is beautiful and the idea of a magical circus is great.
I just thought that this story was slow paced and I was bored with some parts and I didn’t really connect with the characters as much as I would have liked.

When I started reading this book, I realized I was bit clueless about its story. I only knew it was about a mysterious circus that would appear unannounced and would be a nocturnal event. But this can be read in the back cover of the book, so it meant not knowing much about it. And also meant not knowing what to expect.

To be honest, I had a wonderful surprise. It's been quite a while since I read a story like this and I quite enjoyed it. Especially because you never know what to expect next. It ...more

This book is absolutely wonderful. I love books that have to do with a circus, but really this book was so much more. At the beginning I found it kind of hard to keep up with the switching between years, dates, and places and just generally how it was written. But, about half way through I found it easier to follow along. This book is beautifully written and insanely captivating!
