The Night Circus, and  Morgenstern's writing, never fails to amaze me. It's whimsical and enchanting. And it's hard to follow sometimes but that's the beauty of it: Not truly knowing the world she has created and leaving most of what we know as unknown. We are the ones being told the story, unfortunately we are not the ones witnessing it firsthand. I think of the story as an nice red apple being dipped in the night sky full of stars. Or popcorn with caramel sauce (Thank you Widget!!!!)
