Caraval by Stephanie Garber

5.0

When I first started this book, it read to me as too simple. But, I pushed through my doubts because I wanted to finish it, and I am so thrilled I did! Not what I expected, Caraval was interesting, twisting, and riveting. I I literally read 80% of the book in one day, because it simply grabbed me and wouldn't let go.

Stephanie's descriptions are like the magic of Caraval itself: enchanting, practically dripping with magic. Well done indeed. Though the beginning seemed weak, by the end of the book, the characters and plot and development had reached their pinnacle.
