The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

This book is all about two magicians, Prospero the Enchanter and Mr. A.H., (we never find out his full name) that enjoy showing off their skills though competitions that involve their apprentices, Celia Bowen and Marco (he is an orphan that was never given a last name). 

Their arena for this competition is the enchanting Night Circus. This circus seems to never end and is always adding on new tents. 

The details of the competition are never clear right up until the very end but they mainly consist of these two apprentices to battle up until their deaths. However, Marco is the only one aware pf the fact that Celia is his opponent. Celia is oblivious. Sadly, these two characters fall madly in love. 

Will they be able to live together? Or will they one, or both of them, perish?

I enjoyed this book because it is extremely captivating and gripping. The author keeps the suspense right up until the very end.
