Caraval by Stephanie Garber

2.0

What did I just read? I felt like the plot could’ve wrapped up like 2/3s into the book. I had a hard time connecting to most of the characters despite lots of decent reasons to sympathizing with them (particularly Scarlett…girl, your sister’s an asshole! She’s been doing her own thing for ages while you get punished and have no fun in life. Then she essentially tortures you by proxy as an elaborate ruse to “save you” from your father and fiancé. Gah!). This would be a very cool choose your own adventure book, but as a novel I felt it wasn’t well executed.
