However, I know it felt a bit out blue but I enjoyed reading Scarlett’s and Julian’s relationship. I loved (past tense) their dynamic. And when the plot picked up I couldn’t stop reading. Then the plot twists went little overboard. Basically every other page had another twist and I started getting desensitized to it. I think that was the downfall of this book.
-
Julian became bland
-
And omg Donatella.
-
Well the only character I actually enjoyed reading about was Julian before the plot twist and, surprisingly, Legend.
-
I didn’t mean be so negative but I swear I enjoyed a good part of the book when the plot twist started kicking in

Glad I finally got around to reading this!!
I read OUABH first so I'm finally going back and reading the Caraval trilogy! I really liked Scarlet and Julian I thought they were so cute and I loved the whole scene of the magical carnival. Trying to decipher what was real and what wasn't was super interesting. Tella really pissed me off for most of this book so I'm interested to see how I like the next book. As always though Stephanie can write magical worlds like nobody else. I'm so in love with her writing style and always will be. Just the way she writes about and describes clothes is enchanting. I'm super excited to see this world fleshed out more in the next books!
