i'm writing this as the conclusion to my reread of the caraval trilogy - and i can tell you that this series is still by far one of my favorite things on our beloved planet. i might be biased and/or overly emotional but this book made me ugly cry at least three times on this read alone, and made me laugh out loud and still made me gasp with excitement and intrigue.
the vibes are 10/10. i believe that the story was wrapped up nicely, without so many burning questions - besides the one concerning scarlett and tella's mother that was revealed at the end. i'm excited to finally jump into the OUABH trilogy for the first time (...besides the first book🤫) and see what connections i can make and easter eggs i can piece together now that i have the original trilogy fresh in my brain.
this is a series i can see myself rereading numerous times - the characters are always interesting and the plot always keeps me on my toes. i'm delighted to live in a time of stephanie garber's writing and the magical world or caraval.
finale, specifically, had me reevaluating my definition of love. when does caring turn into possession and love into obsession? is there a fine line between all of the above, and do we really know what love is? as far as i'm concerned, love is long-lasting and never ending. obsession only lasts so long until the initial excitement wears off, once you have what you want in your possession. then it's on to the next big thing. to summarize, my journal received a lot of pondering while reading this conclusion😭
