The plot is pretty slow, or rather, things happen but nothing grand. The slow yet comforting prose made me want to keep reading at a steady pace, without too much pressure to read quickly. This book, magically, soothed my temper and let me really be able to relax after a pretty tense month. I couldn’t begin to express how much I adore this book. Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart. 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. 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. 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.

It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.īut 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. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.
