I loved this.

Julian's ok!

Excellent story, not super fast paced but written in a way that leaves you waiting for the next twist. So many plot twists I didn't see some of those coming.

I really wanna know what Tella bargained with

Fast-paced and almost magnetic in how it hooks you in, this is truly a masterful story. The twists and turns, even when you can see them coming, take you unexpected places, and you're left wondering along with Scarlett what's real and what's simply magic.

Don't let any warnings lead you astray— this book is fairly typical for YA fantasy violence!

Liked:

• How the plot was engaging throughout the whole book
• The world and the dynamic/atmosphere of Caraval
• How the main characters were sisters

Didn't like as much:

• How the romance developed so quickly
• The stubbornness of both Scarlett and Tella (only at some points in the story)
• How Tella was absent for much of the story but was still central to Scarlett's motivations—I wish I got to know a little more about Tella at the beginning
• The ending was a bit underwhelming to me

Overall, I liked Caraval and I look forward to continuing with the series.

It was a wonderful story that really had you guessing what was going to happen next. Even if you think you have it figured out the story would prove you wrong. I loved this book and it was a fantastic read.
