The Night Circus is roughly about two people who are destined to have some great big duel, but aren't given any information as to who each other is, or when the battle is to happen. Meanwhile there are several other stories intertwined together that all fall under one venue, which is Le Cirque des Reves, the Circus of Dreams.

I personally really enjoyed the elaborate description of this magical circus, and the attention to detail brought into the colors and even materials of clothing. It created a very sophisticated, yet magical and etherial atmosphere.

Referring to the story, the use of magic and the price it comes with was very intriguing, however I also liked the idea that the two opponents were very much in the dark about there fate/destiny. I enjoyed this idea because, being at the place I am now I can relate to this pre-destined duel to my own fears of going out into the world and finding what I am to do with my life. The feeling growing up and realizing that the uncertainty of what's ahead never goes away, and that you will never be able to predict what will happen next. Which leads me to my next point, which is the ending of The Night Circus, was such an unexpected twist, considering we are used to resolutions to this kind of story ending in a huge battle. It was such an interesting way of resolving the story, because to me it left me not necessarily happy, but not really disappointed either, and I think that this is because it wasn't a black and white solution of we have a winner and a loser and everything will change based off of the outcome, but rather it was a resolution were their wasn't really a winner or loser and for the most part things remained neutral. This again relates back to life and how although every decision has a consequence it is a reminder to the audience that not everything is black and white, and that you still are able to pave your own path so to speak.
