La Cirque des Réves appears suddenly at night. It disappears much like it appears - without being seen. Inside a battle is taking place between two magicians. Celia and Marco are bound to this battle and the fate of the circus and all those involved are at stake. But love increases the stakes higher than ever anticipated.

I devoured the first half of this book, but found it dragging for me by the second half. The chapters flip timelines regularly and which character you are learning from the story. I think the thing that lacked for me most by the end was the magical realism maybe? Overall I enjoyed it and glad to have given something different from my normal a go!
