The Night Circus

I have no words but reading this book felt so, so right.
To watch the story get untangled one step at a time and asking yourself how a place so rich in bliss, beauty and magic and in many ways deeply captivating originated in the years-long disagreement of two by now very old and uninspired men.

There's no consideration for any of the people who forcibly get involved in their feud and might not even know it.
And yet, every involved party contributes to the circus with their unique skills, smarts and sometimes even timing alone, making it alive and stepping out of their ascribed pawn-role, unlike intended.
It's no surprise that the events around the competition and the circus get out of control, in control, out of control....

I'm just glad that reading this book feels very much like being a part of the story, so I don't long for a place that doesn't exist.
