Review: The Night Circus

I recently finished this book for the second time and I have to say that this book gets better the more you read it. It is written by Erin Morgenstern and is quite impressive considering it is the first book she has written.
It is set in the late 1800s and continues into the early 1900s. To avoid any spoilers, I will just give you the jist of the book. Two magicians challenge each other to a duel by proxy (kind of). Prospero the Enchanter uses his recently discovered daughter who has an affinity for magic, and the other magician, Mr. A H-, finds a boy at an orphanage that he trains.
 The "game" as it is referred to takes place in a magical circus that travels the world and only appears at night and vanishes in a few days only to pop back up halfway across the world.
Enough about the circus though, soon the two "duelers" meet and fall in love even though they know that only one of them will win the game. What they don't know is that the game is only won when your opponent can no longer continue! AHHH!
 The Night Circus appeals to many different age groups and genre preferences and paints an amazing picture of a world seen in black, white, and red.
