I heard I should’ve read this series before OUABH, but I had already read it.  I decided to go back and listen to the Caraval series before ACFTL is released.

I didn’t care for the narrator at first, then realized it was the same narrator as OUABH - who I loved.  Turns out, I just can’t stand Scarlett.

I did not care for Scarlett.  There was just something about her that annoyed me.  Tells wasn’t much better.  I adored Julian and would love to see more of him.  Governor Draggna can go to hell where he belongs.

I will continue with the series to hopefully get a better backstory, but I do hope it improves with book two.
