Whether you like fantasy or not, an avid reader of literature will love the Night Circus. This is NOT a spoiler review. The story, as you can read in most reviews, pits two magician rivals to a challenge which is set in the black & white night circus. .
That alone would be a boring novel. This novel captures the essence of Shakespeare's Tempest, Romeo and Juliet along with other literature. It deals with subjects such as good, evil, secrets, love, time, morality & tenacity.
There are multiple tents in this circus. We're not talking about lions, jugglers, clowns or anything you could imagine. The creativity is beyond most people's imagination.
After you've finished the novel, research the basis and check out the art interpretations.
