I’ve been waiting for months to get this trilogy in Libby and I’m so happy I ended up really liking it! 
This might be the 10th audiobook that I’ve listened narrated by Rebecca Soler and she never disappoints. 

Scarlett and Donatella Dragna are two sisters who live with their abusive father in the Isle of Trisda. The girls have always dreamed of leaving and being free, and the opportunity finally presents itself in the name of Julian Marrero when this boy comes to the island and offers them to take them to Caraval, this magical place where they can play the game and if they win they can ask for anything they want.
 
I really liked the sisters, but especially Scarlett because I feel I would be more like her in this whole situation. I loved seeing her romance with Julian and how she had to learn to trust him. I did not expect that many plot twist and surprises in the book, especially in the end I was loving that. I was having such a great time with this book. 

By the end we got so many emotions and information that just convinced me this is a 4 ⭐
