“They want to believe that magic is nothing but clever deception, because to think it real would keep them up at night, afraid of their own existence.”
This is one of those books I was ambivalent about before I started it. I had seen both good and bad reviews of it, so I had placed it in the “eh, maybe I’ll get to it someday” section of my TBR list. Turns out, “someday” was the end of December, as it was chosen for the January read in my book club. And my fears were unfounded. Once I started read ...more

The most beautiful novel I've read in what seems like ages.

This book was fantastic. It was so different from anything I'd read. The writing was strong and so was the plot. The characters were brilliant and deep and it was just an overall great story. I was sad to see it end.

I started listening to this a few months ago (Jim Dale, need I say more) but I got really confused with all the time switching so I gave up. Luckily, our book group chose this book and I gave it another shot. What an amazing book! The imagery is so beautiful and the story is completely unique. I couldn't put it down. A must read!!

It was good book with a nice mix of fantasy and romance. It kept my interest.
Love Love love...the reader is fantastic and I got caught up in the story pretty quickly. It does seem oddly familiar and there were parts that were slow but I really enjoyed the mystery and I wished the Circus was real. I would be a Rever...
A beautiful story, beautifully told. With only one book author Morgenstern has earned a place on my must-read list. I can't wait to see what she does next.
