Though the ending was quite dissatisfying, Caraval managed to impress me. The story was fun, and the romance, lovely.
I didn’t like Scarlett as a main character, and even less, Donatella. I hated her with all my heart and (spoilers for OUABH) I can’t believe someone like Jacks would fall for someone like her—even if he is a manwhore and all!!
Julian’s real story and the entire backstory was weird and badly put through. I’m sure there is more to the story than all of that, however, I did not like how “it was all a plan all along” since the beginning was explained.
The book was saved by Julian and Scarlett’s romance. If it weren’t for that, I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much.
