I was apprehensive after reading several reviews about how the back cover introduction being a magnified slice, a grander version of the book itself. Yes, there is no dragon splitting fire or sword fighting when they mention "magic dueling". Yes, there is romance, but nothing Twilight-heart-wretching, just enough to keep the stories flow. Nevertheless, the book is charming and ethereal. I myself don't like circuses that much, but Le Cirque des Rêves is written in such detail and exquisite language that it captivates

Po przeczytaniu „Bezgwiezdnego morza” byłam pewna, że muszę przeczytać i tę książkę autorki, chociaż przyznam, że obawiałam się rozczarowania. Oj jak bardzo się myliłam. Przepadłam w „Cyrku nocy”, zakochałam się w jego magii. Pozostaje już tylko dodać czerwony element do czarno - białych strojów podobnie jak inni rêveurs ;)

Magical, intelligent, and surprising!
This is a book that I read literally based on the cover alone. I did not read the cover flap or any reviews. So I started reading with a blank slate, no expectations, and I was so entranced by the world and
characters created.
This is definitely a character driven book, which are the kind I like. I would rather have pages and pages of description and character development than actual plot. The characters throughout this novel all became so clear, by the end I was sad to say goodbye.
The perspective shifts between characters and very close time periods (all within a decade of each other), until everything culminates in the end. Generally, I can figure out where a plot is going, but this book was so different. I just loved it. It was refreshing!
