This was my first fantasy fiction book. I can’t believe I finished this book overnight. I been seeing this book for a while and listened to the entire audiobook overnight. I truly loved it. Caraval, The story is captivating and managed to hold my attention in an extraordinary way, so much so that I finished it in a very short time 😂.
I loved the idea of the Caraval - the ethereal magic, the enigma of the game and (of course) the trickery of Legend. But, the book fell short.
The world-building needed to be significantly stronger. For a world that was purported as being one of intense magic and intrigue, everything was a bit meh and haphazard.
The author used the excuse "but it's magic" there were places I had a bit of confusion as well with how it was written but that could be just the way the author writes. Any way, I would highly suggest this book if your a beginner like me in fantasy fiction.
