![]() ![]() Although the plot and characters are fairly interesting (despite being rather predictable at times), what makes this book truly special is the atmosphere it creates. The Night Circus is the story of two young magicians trapped in a mysterious battle of unknown rules, who work to create a mystical circus that can only be visited at night. And, for some reason, the battered exterior of this text only added to the charm of the story within. Coffee stains evident on the pages, the covers full of what one can only assume to be acid-induced pot marks, the binding worn through, a warp so bad that the hard-cover book has no hope of ever lying flat on a table again. And by “it” I mean something resembling a car wash. Usually the physical aspects of the slightly musty books with mildly bent bindings aren’t worth noting, but when my “good” copy of The Night Circus arrived in the mail, it was clear that this book had been through it. ![]()
