One of the most beautifully written books I've ever read. The Night Circus comes alive in lavish and luscious detail. As someone who adores the visual arts, I appreciated the multilayered descriptions of the Night Circus, the London Dinner parties, and the various performers. 
 I wish we had gotten to know some of the characters a bit deeper, and while I'm not adverse to to the insta-love trope, I wish there had been more in the lead up to Marco and Celia's relationship. I also would have liked a little more info on how the magic system worked, but again, I'm ok with the fact that it remained mysterious. 
 I loved this book despite these few criticisms, and will probably purchase a copy to read again in the future.
