Glad I finally got around to reading this!!
I read OUABH first so I'm finally going back and reading the Caraval trilogy! I really liked Scarlet and Julian I thought they were so cute and I loved the whole scene of the magical carnival. Trying to decipher what was real and what wasn't was super interesting. Tella really pissed me off for most of this book so I'm interested to see how I like the next book. As always though Stephanie can write magical worlds like nobody else. I'm so in love with her writing style and always will be. Just the way she writes about and describes clothes is enchanting. I'm super excited to see this world fleshed out more in the next books!

Caraval is a game few can play, where magic lives in everything, and you cannot trust what you thought you knew. After an unfortunate accident last time, Master of the game, Legend wants to discover if there is any good left in him, and letters from sisters Scarlett and Donatella give him the perfect opportunity to find out.
The book focuses on Scarlett, a loving girl stuck in a life where misfortune and pain surround her. Stories of Caraval bring her comfort, but is the game all it is cracked up to be? She is forced to make impossible decision after impossible decision and is confronted with hard truths and unexpected secrets that may just save her. But is her loving nature enough to win the game?
If you haven't started this series yet, what are you waiting for? There is an invitation to the games with your name on it!
