RaveNewsdayErin Morgenstern's debut novel, The Night Circus, is quietly, enchantingly perfect ... Morgenstern is an artist as well as a writer, and her novel is lusciously visual. Every scene is like a medieval painting, saturated with color and detail; each realistic facet only enhances the mystical strangeness of the whole ... But this is and is not a story of love conquering all ... Like all good art, including novels that must lead us through to a final, beautiful page, the circus' triumph lies in its legacy rather than in its survival.
