Wait…hold on…do I have a new favorite series?
Do I dare admit that this is my favorite series?
Yes
Yes, I do believe that the Caraval series is my favorite.
I can’t wait to re-read this series again! The romance! The villains! The sisters! The magic! Everything about it was just *chefs kiss*.
Can I touch on Scarlet’s and Tella’s relationship really quick? It reminded me so much of my relationship with my younger sister and maybe that is why I loved this book so much! “There is nothing quite so precious as the love of a sister” when I read that line I started to cry! The whole prologue of Finale is one of my favorite things I’ve ever read!
Well done Stephanie Garber! Bravo! I need to order Once Upon a Broken Heart immediately! Her writing style and storytelling ability is amazing! But my favorite thing about these books were the descriptions! I have never seen so many unique adjective and such magnificent imagery.
The descriptive parts might even be better than the exciting, action filled, plot driven scenes!
No, that’s not true…but I loved every word, when in other books I often just skim the descriptive paragraphs.
Ugh! I’m so sad this series is over!
