This was alright. I'm reading this series to get to OUABH. This was a pretty quick read with a whole lot of plot twists, however, some of the magical things fell a bit flat for me. I hope I enjoy the next one.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

First i would like to say I LOVE THAT HE CALLS HER "CRIMSON"❤

And can i just say the way stephanie writes is so beautiful i LOVE the way she explained stuff with the colours and feelings 😍 AHHHWKBEJSNWBEH i love it soo much

Overall its a really good book about sisters, freedom and falling in love for the first time and it all takes place in a "everything is not what it seems"/wonderland type world *chefs kiss*

(I read it right after heartless by marissa meyer and 👏IT👏KEPT👏THE👏VIBES👏GOING👏
Caraval was just what i needed im in LOVE with the crazy worlds these books gave me)

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

*Ahem*

THE HECK HE DIES WHO WAS GOING TO TELL ME THAT!!! WTFRICK

"julian!" Scarlett cried, pushing harder against his chest as blood soaked through the cape onto her hands. "I dont care if you lied. If you dont die, i'll forgive you for everything."

Julian's eyes shut, as if he didn't hear her

"Julian, please keep fighting. You've been fighting this whole game, dont stop now."

Slowly his eyes lifted. For a moment it looked as if he was coming back to her. "I lied about how i got bashed in the head," he mumbled " i wanted to get your earrings back. But the man was stronger than he looked. . . . I got into a little trouble. But it was worth it to see your face. . . ." A ghost of a smile moved up his lips " i should have stayed away from you . . . But i really wanted you to succeed. . . . I wanted to -"

Julian's head fell back.

"No!"
Beneath her hands, scarlet felt his chest fall a final time. "Julian. Julian. Julian!" She pressed her hands to his heart but nothing moved.

Scarlet didn't know how many times she repeted his name. She said it like a prayer. A plea. A whisper. A good-bye.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

What the heck did i do to deserve that i was NOT prepared for that

I relly hated their dad he was really annoying and he has serious issues

Chapter 28
Ahhhh when she FINNALY realizes she loves him and he loves her❤❤
And they kiss *melts into a puddle of awe*😍

✨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

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

It‘s a nice story but most of the time I did not have a clue what the heck was going on. There were too many twists and lies and mysteries, I just couldn‘t keep up.

I have never been more angry at a fucking ending in my entire life. I was having so much fun, a little confused and amused at how this plot was developing, but oh my god a "happy ending" has never filled me with such rage before. If this had ended even slightly differently this would be 4 stars, but bc it didnt and i genuinely had fun with the rest of the book its only 3
