Boooooo Tella.
I understand why people love these books and Garber's writing so much. I was never quite certain what was real or not, and she created a very rich world.

This book was an emotional Rollercoaster, the plot was messy and all over the place plot, yet I am so addicted to this book for seemingly no reason, it was very interesting and i will defiantly be reading the others but I'm so confused on why I like it this much, like easy cheese which is undoubtedly terrible yet so addicting, worth a read for sure, one other note is they really excuse Tella's actions but she does some really terrible things and is in genera kind of a terrible personand the entire game thing being just for funseys was very messed up as scarlett was terrified the entire time and genuinely thought everyone including the boy she loved to ge in severe dsnger or dead

I don’t know what to tell you…it’s a mysterious, magical, emotional ride the whole way.
I don’t want to spoil to Mitch so letzt just say there ist one twist and one lie after another and “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”

thissagreads's review against another edition
SO INCREDIBLY BORING WITH AN OBNOXIOUS MAIN CHARACTER!!!! I couldn’t believe how obsessed Scarlett was, with finding her sister Tella and controlling her actions. Tella made it very clear that she wanted freedom from their abusive father and “womanly duties” and even though the Caraval world sounded cool, the author did very little with the concept and it was disappointing. I couldn’t continue to read, it just became too boring and annoying.

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.

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.
