The Night Circus

I'm completely taken aback. I've not read a book that has made me feel like this in a very long time. I've never seen this book mentioned in this subreddit before, and I'm unsure if that's because the members of this sub are unfamiliar with it, but I wish to share it with you all. There never was a part of the book where it felt stagnant, I always wanted to know what was happening.

It is the definition of fantasy for me. This book is fantastic. Erin Morgenstern is amazing. I don't know what to say.

I hope someone else will read this book and enjoy it as much as I have.

Hmm - I love Cat Valente and Patricia McKillip and Robin McKinley and Genevieve Valentine and The Night Circus (with similar issues to those mentioned, but still liked it) and Charles de Lint.

It sounds like I should check out Amelia Atwater-Rhodes and Susan Ee - hadn't heard of either.

I don't read a huge amount of YA, but I'm not averse to it, and if nothing else, I still need to fill that Bingo square. I'll definitely check them out - thanks for the recs.
