Caraval by Stephanie Garber
5.0
Final Rating: 5/5⭐️
Tbh I was so confused for like 60% of this book but in the best possible way. I would think I knew the plot twists that were going to happen, but something I never expected would come out of left field and leave me jaw dropped. There is a plot twist in almost every chapter and the majority of them are so wildly unpredictable! My favorite thing about this book was that I never knew who or what to believe. The entire premise of Caraval is that you should never ever believe everything you see or everything you are told. Garber is speaking as much to the reader here as Legend is speaking to Scarlett - she makes you feel as if you know what is going on and then snatches that sense of security away from you just as easily and I loved every second of it. Also honorable mention to the romantic tension between Julian and Scarlett! While I usually prefer my books a tad spicier, I absolutely loved them and was honestly glad the spice was almost non-existent in this book - the emphasis on the plot and lack of spice is truly one of the main reasons this book is so good. So if you prefer your romance clean, then you’re definitely safe here!
I ordered the next two books in this series IMMEDIATELY after I read the last page’s cliffhanger, and if that doesn’t explain how good this book is or how captivating this plotline is then I don't know what will. Just please do yourself a favor and read this book
