I really enjoyed this book, I devoured it in a matter of days. It was a fun, easy read. I will say: I wasn’t very impressed with the ending, I knew they would bring tella and Julian back because it had been mentioned previously in the book about things going back to normal when the game ends, but I just feel like after everything that Scarlett was put through Julian and Tella got off so lightly in the end here. I’m diving straight into Legendary!

“Every person has the power to change their fate if they are brave enough to fight for what they desire more than anything.”
“Hope is a powerful thing. Some say it’s a different breed of magic altogether. Elusive, difficult to hold on to. But not much is needed.”
“She remembered thinking falling for him would be like falling in love with darkness, but now she imagined he was more like a starry night: the constellations were always there, constant, magnificent guides against the ever-present black.”
Welcome, welcome to CARAVAL, Stephanie Garber’s enchanting, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling fantasy debut about two sisters swept up in a mysterious competition filled with magic, heartbreak, and danger.
If you have not read Caraval you are missing out. This book had me hooked from the beginning. Every time I said I needed to go to bed I found myself saying just one more chapter. The descriptions of the people, Rooms, and shops were very well put together. The story is kind of like a mystery, I found myself starting to guess how things would go, what the ending would be and who I thought was Legend. I absolutely Loved this book and will be starting the next.

Es hat Spaß gemacht zu lesen und ich habe es auch verschlungen, aber es hätte an Stellen ruhig weiter ausführen können wie das Spiel funktioniert. Am Ende hatte ich das Gefühl dass alle Stränge ja noch zusammengeführt werden mussten und somit dann in den letzten 50 Seiten das halt recht lieblos gemacht wurde.
Dazu fand ich es schade dass das Spiel so wenig beachtet wurde man hatte das gefühl dass man eine Romanze liest die in so einer coolen welt passiert und ich wollte so viel mehr über die welt erfahren. Die Charaktere hab ich auch nicht wirklich liebgrwonnen. Es wurde mir manchmal zu viel erklärt was offensichtlich war. Hier hätte ich gerne selbst ein bisschen mitdenken wollen. All in all hatte ich aber spaß und habe mir direkt den 2. Und 3. Band geholt
