adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I have been recommended this book for YEARS and finally got round to reading it and I finished it in less than a week, which is very fast for me as I'm a slow reader 😅😅

I absolutely loved the mysterious, dark setting and the plot line was pretty good. My fav thing about this book was 100% the setting and mysterious carnival vibes I got from it. I found the writing style helped me to easily imagine my own version of it in my head. 

Another point is i absolutely loved the ending! I thought it was a really good way of involving a happy ending ish with the mystery of caraval and the letter helped continue this book onto a sequel. I also really love Julian and Scarlett at the end especially.


Overall this book is extremely clever and I absolutely loved it!!
