The book is very different from what I read normally but the concept and worldbuilding are very good to me. The language and writing style can be a tad difficult (at least to me, whose second language is english) and it can be a quite confusing sometimes to me. Some parts I’ve had to read double/again to really let it stick. That makes me question how this is apparently supposed to be a children’s book? Anyway, I love Lyra a lot and her character is enjoyable. I like the other characters too and i’m curious to read the next book in this series

This book is so painful and makes me ache and makes me weep and love and there’s so many things going on I don’t know what to focus on
I spend a lot of time reading the books of His Dark Materials and now that I’m done i’m just empty and that’s when you know a series was good. The way that you feel empty, almost numb, and not knowing what the hell you were supposed to do now.
I loved the series, all that happened and the ending too, even though it made me ache.

Good book, interesting concept and plotpoints but a weak execution. For a debut it absolutely works and she has two books to go. I was disappointed with the actual caraval and the clues - I didn’t understand any of the clues or how she solved them and I think that’s my biggest issue with the book

Loved this one! Much better than the first one and made much more sense to me! I could actually understand the clues and lead up to the reveal in this one instead of me being confused the whole of caraval because of the clues

Not as good as the second, but better than the first. Not much to say.
