Yes
I found this book to be enjoyable right from the beginning. It makes you excited for the main characters to get away from their own island and experience the excitement that Caraval holds. The writing was a little juvenile, and it felt like the author made it her personal mission to ensure every color was mentioned somewhere in the book. The ending also left something to be desired and kind of felt like a cop out. I know there are 2 more books that hopefully wrap things up. However, if I hadn't known this, I would've been extremely let down with the way this book ended.
