The second and third books of the trilogy (The Girl Who Played with Fire & The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest) are pretty awesome, too.

Just completed my third selection - The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Excellent modern fable that winds the possible and the impossible into a literary wonder! I had to put the book down at points because my head was so full of the wonderful images that I couldn't comprehend anymore without processing. The story is beautiful, odd, and poignant. Definitely worth reading and one of my fav books thus far this year! 5 stars

I'm reading this right now. Does the vampire/witch romance get better? Or shall I say does the story move more into the world of the witches?

Good, very detailed, but it took forever to read! I'm reading a couple more books to complete my rainbow challenge and then I'll tackle book 2.
