This book got me out of a huge reading slump. It is SO well written and the plot is so so good!

I really enjoyed this one. I couldn't put it down, I had to know what was going to happen next.

I think the only reason I didn’t thoroughly enjoy this book was because I just didn’t trust anyone, but i know that’s the whole purpose. I didn’t get really into it until about 60% of the way in. I will say I liked the twist with Tella at the end and was wondering when a certain character that was mentioned throughout a good portion of the book would come into play.

SO MUCH POTENTIAL
And it pretty much sucked.
There was a very brief background of the main characters: mother missing, father a well known powerful man who is mad and abusive, and main character really really really cares for her sister... thats basically it. Readers don't really get to understand or become attached or either of the sisters there just isn't enough story/substance there. The world of Caraval could have been so much more but the author really failed in the world building area. The story was quite random, the tasks, the riddles, the scenery, the characters all of it. And all for it at the end to be performs of Legend...it just didn't make sense.
The love interest too was so random honestly??? She decides she loves this guy after barely being with him for a week????? And the sister explaining everything at the end was supposed to be a way to wrap everything up but it made no sense to me honestly. The world of Caraval was not explained in enough detail that you could ignore all the confusing events that had happened. Some of it was just cringey too.
I won't be reading the rest of the series.

No plot, it was not good nor bad. Simply nothing happened but she got away from her father ? How can someone fall in love after 4 days. I think this book was the youngest in terms of writing i have read
