Garber uses rich descriptions and imagery in this novel. I was always on the edge of my seat because the MC was thrown into an unexpected quest in Caraval that was mentally challenging and tested her wits, bravery, trust, and love for her sister (who was the one who dragged her out to compete in Caravel in the first place). TBH, the female MC was annoyingly stubborn in her thinking and refused to accept guidance from those who tried to help her, but she came through stronger than expected. The plot twists were unexpected which I liked, but I didn’t love any of the characters though I enjoyed the mystery aspect.

Tella was giving Taryn vibes from folk of the air. Literally kept saying that and honestly found her annoying until the end. VERY well written and I am really excited to keep reading Stephanie’s books.

...... I didn't like this.
I just didn't connect with the characters, their motivations don't make sense to me and they don't feel real.
The author wanted to keep you questioning what is real and what's not. But that didn't work for me because the world building wasn't there. Every plot twist (and there are to many) I saw coming. And i just felt like there was no purpose to them. I could just tell that most of it wasn't planned and I dont like it.
