Representaion Supposing Books The Night Circus
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands. True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead. Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.

The Night Circus will be a 5-star book for a certain reader. This reader likes a lot of descriptions, doesn't mind a very slow story and has a soft spot for circuses. I am not that reader. I prefer imagery to complement a plot rather than substitute it.The plot summary of The Night Circus promised many enticing things, but delivered, in my opinion, only on one - lush imagery of a mysterious circus that was a collaborative creation of two rivaling magicians. The book was good 80% description ofI wavered between four and five stars on this one but then thought that I should show multi-millionaire authors the same generosity I show the struggling variety. The Night Circus is very different from the kinds of fantasy books Ive been reading of late. Its not that its written in the present tense (I read the excellent Master Assassins recently and that is also in present tense). Its not that is has a Victorian feel to it (the excellent Senlin Ascends has that). Its not that its set in the
How can I excel at a game when you refuse to tell me the rules?I guess The Night Circus is one of those books that make it especially hard to write a proper review and if Im entirely honest I have to admit that I dont even know where to start. It was unlike any other book Ive ever read and therefore the usual structure of my reviews just doesnt seem to be appropriate, let alone to fit. I would have written you, myself, if I could put down in words everything I want to say to you. A sea of ink
I really respected what you said, albeit cynical and harsh, until you called someone a whore... yeez, i dont care what circumstance, that just
This book was amazing! I loved it. Bought it in a charity shop. I am not usually a fan of books that involve magic. 2018 - After re-reading i still love this book. So much happening and great characters. Little confusing when it jumps around so much at the beginning. But i have moved it from a 5 star to a 4 now.
The prose sparkles, and the story itself is a feat of magical acrobatics. It's a hard book to summarize, but basically two ancient magicians set their two best pupils against one another in a magical contest. Its venue? A mysterious circus that only appears at night. The only problem: the contestants don't really know the rules, or how victory is determined. And when the contestants start falling in love which each other, things get complicated.
As a young girl, Celia Bowen is delivered to the father she never knew, a world famous magician whose secret is that his show is genuine magic - not illusions. He teaches Celia to manipulate the world in the same way so that she can compete in a high-stakes game against Marco, an orphan similarly trained by her father's nemesis. The arena for this game is an elaborate, surreal circus. Neither Celia nor Marco knows the extent of the game, nor their opponent, until they have fallen in love with
