Review of "The Night Circus"

Entertaining read which creates its own world (where physical magic can be practiced) set in turn of 19/20th Century. A slightly annoying and unnecessary jumping around in chronology as if the chapters had been shuffled and then re-ordered by someone who hadn't read them, but apart from that very good.
