“Welcome, welcome to Caraval! The grandest show on land or by sea. Inside you’ll experience more wonders than most people see in a lifetime.” And welcome, welcome to my review… it’s probably not as magical as the book was while reading…

Caraval is about two sisters who escape their island home to go participate in a magical game where what is real and what is magic is difficult to discern. I liked that this book felt like a quick and breezy read and that I couldn't trust…

I wanted more from this book. The magical system seemed to contradict itself and forget its own rules or come up with new ones whenever it suited the plot. The characters fell flat for me, and I had a hard time loving them or rooting for…

So much fun!!! Scarlett was kind of an annoying protagonist, but the magic, setting, plot, & characters made up for that for me

I do not know what I feel about the ending. It was an interesting book. The main character at times could be annoying since she was worried about her sister too much. Overall I think it was good. I would give it a 3.7.

This is one of my absolute favorite books, I even bought after reading it off the library. That's how much I love this book. It portrays how not everything is the way it seems to be, and not everyone is who they say they are. Its got…

This was a fun one. I have been on the fence with Caraval for a while, unsure if I would actually enjoy it—especially given recent disappointments concerning novels of a similar ilk. While not perfect, it came pretty close. I think the…
