Absolutely loved this book! The writing was super fun and I adored all the twists. The end of the book really kept me on my toes and I loved how everything was revealed slowly but also consistently. It left ME questioning what was real. It's my new favorite<33

It was good but Scarlett annoyed me, and her seeing emotions in colour, was very confusing as well as annoying too... but a very enjoyable story overall.

Overall, Caraval is an enjoyable, whimsical, mysterious read. It took several unexpected turns. For readers who like dreamy, colorful worlds, this is a perfect, light read. The book did lose some steam at the end, but it tied up loose ends while retaining an enigmatic, mysterious feel. The characters were interesting. I was fully immersed in the world.
