I just finished the Erin Morgenstern's debut novel, The Night Circus, and I can't say enough good things about it. It was like enjoying a complex and beautifully woven fairy tale. So many wonderful characters, beautiful images, joy, heartbreak -- it has it all. All this while demonstrating the importance of story telling. I hated to have it come to an end and want to read it again to pick up nuances I'm sure I missed. I predict this title will win an award!Publisher's blurb: A fierce competition is underway, a contest between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood to compete in "a game," in which each must use their powers of illusion to best the other. Unbeknownst to them, this game is a duel to the death, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will.
