I LOVED this book but I feel like the next one in the series will be better. Also if u like romantasy/fantasy you will love this book it's so adventurous and it feels like you're in another world I could not put this book down and the clothing choices in it are beautiful. some people don't like Stephanie garbers writing style but I would try cuz u never know. This is in 3rd person btw which I don't like that much but this THIS is a phenomenal exception. 

This was a neat one! It was really well paced and kind of refreshing and cool having a fantasy book in a surrealist setting. 

For the positives, this book had really excellent world building. There was a continuous guessing game throughout it. What may be magic, may also be illusion, but may also be real, so you never truly knew what to believe. And due to the unpredictable nature of the game there were lots of really cool twists and surprises I didn’t see coming! It was fun to try to figure out everyone’s true intentions, as you could truly trust no one. 

As for what I felt was a smidge meh. The character development felt a little undercooked for me. Some of the conversations felt a little out of place and the reasonings for certain actions felt too simplified for the complex emotions that would undoubtedly come from the consequences of them. (If that makes sense). 

Another thing is, I liked the romance plot, but it never felt genuine because, as with every single character in this book, you could never fully trust it. 

Overall, it was a really fun read. BbI’m gonna try book 2 next and see how it goes!

Confusing but amazing

Adorei este livro!! Fui muito enganada, mas valeu a pena...  Espero que o resto da trilogia valha a pena! Fiquei apaixonada pelo Julian 🥹🩷

There were so many plot twists they were all done so well i can say a audibly gasped multiple times lol it was fantastic
 
This whole book was a roller coster man so many plot twists and gosh did i enjoy every single tiny minute of it 

This is one of the twists that blew my mind it came out of nowhere i stared at a wall for a long time

✨Fave quotes✨

●She imagined loving him would feel like falling in love with darkness, frightening and consuming yet utterly beautiful when the stars came out.
-Scarlett about julian

○She remembered thinking falling for him would be like falling in love with darkness, but now she imagined he was more like a starry night: the constellations were always there, constant, magnificent guides against the ever-present black.
-Scarlett about julian

●The boy who’d saved her from drowning in more ways than one
-Scarlett about julian

○"I forgive you," she whispered.
-Scar to Julian

●"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. You can sip magic from a cup and buy dreams in a bottle. But before you fully enter into our world, you must remember it’s all a game. What happens beyond this gate may frighten or excite you, but don’t let any of it trick you. We will try to convince you it’s real, but all of it is a performance. A world built of make-believe. So while we want you to get swept away, be careful of being swept too far away. Dreams that come true can be beautiful, but they can also turn into nightmares when people won’t wake up."
-Jovan

○"I love you Tella."
"I know you do." Tella looked up with an indescribably tender expression. "I wouldn't be here if you didn't."
-Scar and Tella
