4 December 2023: 4 stars

I can't stop thinking about this series, so it deserves to be at least a four star.

28 November 2023: 3.75 stars

This was really fun. For some reason, I went into this expecting nothing more than just a magical carnival, so I was very surprised to say the least. 

I really enjoyed Scarlet as a main character, and her love for her sister, Donatella was a beautiful relationship to read about. Watching them go to these extreme lengths to try and protect each other was truly heart warming.

I also really enjoyed the love story. Scarlet's love interest,
Julian
, is also a really great character, and I really enjoyed his personality. I hope I get to see more of them and their relationship in the next two books, even though
I know the focus switches to Donatella in this next book
.

YOOOOO I COMPLETELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!
I think my biggest mistake, whether when I want to start a book that seems interesting or after I finish one I completely loved (like this one), is reading reviews. When I see more negative ones than positive I start to ask myself 'Did I really enjoy it?' I don’t know why I let other's opinions get to me like that ugh… maybe I should stop reading reviews and that's it lmaooo

Anyway, my first thought was 'Ohhh The Night Circus meets Alice in Wonderland' but it became a story of its own quickly. I read it in like 2 days and a half, couldn’t put it down. I’m dumb as f*ck so I didn’t expect lots of plot twists and was all shocked and/or giggly. For me it was a fun, engaging read. 
I agree with people who say that
Scarlett and Julian
fell in love too quickly, but idk man, they were cute.  Donatella gave me Lydia Bennett vibes at first
but she turned out to be smart as hell and I loved that!
