Beschreibung

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.

But 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. 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. 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.

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.

Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.

4.75/5 I‘m a sucker for magic and enchanting stories. Probably the reason I loved this book so much. The vibes are Miss Peregrine‘s home for peculiar children and fantastic beast and where to find them. Which is exactly my vibe. Why is it not rated 5 stars then? Well, there‘s no plot. I could not explain what is exactly happening probably not even if my life was depending on it. The ending? Total blur and I‘m writing this review 5 mins after I finished the book. Whatever it says in the description, I‘m sorry but its not true. Which is probably why people either love or hate the book. It either disappoints because of that or it amazes because it enchants one in a different way. Morgensterns writing is amazing. Each character was „thought through“ (is that how you say it?), well written, individual, simply interesting. I liked that. For me the book felt like a warm hug or a comfort movie you can watch 100 times and it‘s as good as it was the first time.

„We add our own stories, each visitor, each visit, each night spent at the circus. I suppose there will never be a lack of things to say, of stories to be told and shared.“ I absolutely adored this!!! Can’t believe I just now read it!

Der Zirkus als aufregender Mikrokosmos, der durch distinktive sowie spannende Charaktere mit Leben gefüllt wird. Magisch auf mehreren Ebenen

Magical

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. . The Night Circus, an absolute masterpiece! The writing was truly enchanting!! So unique! Other than that, I really loved the little texts between the chapters, most of them were letters, newsletters reports, imaginative descriptions of the circus or tarot cards descriptions. The way they were written was so meaningful and magical!! I know I sound like a broken record but for me it the writing was really memorable! The story itself was nice, nothing too fancy but still mysterious! I loved the characters but I would’ve wished to get more time with some of them. The book has big cast so naturally some characters get less "screentime" than others. Especially the love story between the main characters Celia and Marco felt kinda rushed?? Not really rushed, they did that their time with it (like in the book world itself, it took years for them to get to that point) but the reader didn’t witness much of that progression itself. Speaking of main characters, they are definitely marketed as the main characters and the story does build up on the fated destiny and their actions but they kinda didn’t feel like main characters for me tbh. I don’t know how to explain it but they just didn’t feel like the driving force of the story. That’s ok tbh, it’s unusual but it wasn’t a bad thing in this case. Like I said, it’s mostly the writing style that impressed me. And those in between texts! They were really really good! . I read this book without knowing that it’s such a hyped up book so I can’t really say much about that with my minimal knowledge but I did really enjoy it and would recommend it for sure!

Als würde man träumen während man liest.

Das Buch eröffnet einem eine Welt, aus der man nicht mehr aufwachen will. Von Seite eins zieht es einen in den Bann. Die Magie ist originell und aufregend. Der Zirkus an sich so gut beschrieben, man hat das Gefühl selbst dabei zu sein. Die Protagonisten sind vielschichtig und haben unglaublich viel Tiefe. Alles in allem ein tolles Buch das man gar nicht mehr aus der Hand legen will, weil es einen in eine andere Welt entführt.

Dieses Buch ist etwas ganz Besonderes. Die magische, mystische Atmosphäre und die fantasievollen Zelte des Zirkus haben mich so in ihren Bann gezogen! Die Geschichte wird sehr sorgfältig und langsam aufgebaut, (diese Erzählweise muss man mögen - ich LIEBE sie) bis schließlich alle Puzzelteile ihren Platz finden und ein so mitreißendes Finale ergeben, könnte heulen so gut war's.

19. Jahrhundert und Magie - eine perfekte Kombo!

Dieses Buch ist so ziemlich alles was ich mir erhofft hatte. The Night Circus spielt im 19. Jahrhundert was für mich eh immer ein Pluspunkt ist. Dann noch Magie dazu? Perfekt! Erin Morgenstern hat einen ganz besonderen Schreibstil. Man muss sich eventuell zunächst damit anfreunden, aber ich finde sie schafft es jedes Mal einen in die Welt eintauchen und träumen zu lassen. Ich lieb's! Die Charaktere sind super gut durchdacht und geschrieben. Einfach alles rund in dem Buch, wenn man mich fragt. Definitiv lesenswert!

"I would have written you, myself, if I could put down in words everything I want to say to you. A sea of ink would not be enough" I really loved the word building and the beautiful metaphors which made the words become something tangible and real as well as the detailed description of nearly anything. I also liked the little outlines of the stars on some of the pages. The many time and scene jumps were a little bit confusing. I always had to turn the pages back to the last chapter so that I could imagine where and when the new chapter was playing in comparison to the story line. So it was kinda hard to get into the story especially because it some chapters were more a fill-in and really detailed description of something than necessary to understand the story. I also didn't liked the ending though

Okay finally after months and days I am going to write the pending reviews. xD This book took me way too long to finish than I generally do with a book that size. I wouldn't say the book was boring or I wasn't captivated enough to go through with it because I was. This book was one of the most original stories I have read and it was like when you try to look for magic around you, something that captivates you completely, something which makes you hope and believe, this was that kind of the book. A story which actually takes you away from the real world and puts you in a dazzling magical world makes you forget about everything, which I think is why this book is so hyped and loved. My only problem was -- Way too many characters and because I was slow I wasn't able to keep a track of all of them and most of them were lost for me and some felt pointless (Apologies if I offend someone with that line) Second was it was too slow and dramatic, the book actually picked up for me when I was 300 pages or something in, that's when things started happening and even then they were too slow, so either there could have been more scenes with more drama or a shorter story. But still the story is beautiful, written in the most mesmerizing way possible with a world do get completely lost in.
