Reading Skills for "The Night Circus" redo

The independent novel I have chosen to read is "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern. I have barely made a dent in the book and I am already hooked.  What I have gotten so far is a man is a great magician and he has a competitor. No big deal right? Well, one day this great magician finds a little girl in his office with a note clipped to her shirt. When he discovers its a suicide note from this girl's mother and that he is her dad.. lets just say he has had better days.
          For some reason, I keep thinking this magician is going to get his daughter taken by his competitor. However, this book may be a little too complicated to be that predictable. So with great excitement, I will just have to find out.
         Another thing is, I keep going back to Harry Potter with this book. Its not exact of course but the abandoned child dumped on a family member, magic, its there you know?
         Also,  I find myself questioning this magicians ego. I didn't mention it before but this guy is a little full of it and keeps making me think of Leonardo DiCaprio... yuck!
                                                                  Anyway, I highly recommend this to any young adult-                                                           adult reader.
