I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did. I'm slowly entering the world of fantasy books and this one was a good one. I think it's a good introduction to fantasy. 

The next book is about Donatella and I'm a bit apprehensive about it, as she wasn't my favourite character. But I might be surprised in a good way

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.

It's so-so for me. Honestly, it felt like reading a child fairytale book with adult relationship inside or reading a very long wattpad story. It's entertaining, but just that. I'm a bit disappointed on how the conflict climax executed. But it is a good book. If not, I wouldn't bother reading it 'till the end. I love the plot and the concept. It's such a refreshing concept between the viral faeries concepts. I know my childhood would love and go crazy for this. Too bad I read it as an adult. I will read the sequels.

I was lied to, I saw things that weren’t even real, and I was forced to believe it was all a happy ending but, no. “It’s just a game” only applies to its actors, but its players suffer true consequences and Tella, the mastermind behind the troubles her sister and her new lover had faced, is no exception. I am literally SHOOK. I NEED to know what Tella bargained for, I need to know where their mother went, I need to know what this game really is.

Garber uses rich descriptions and imagery in this novel. I was always on the edge of my seat because the MC was thrown into an unexpected quest in Caraval that was mentally challenging and tested her wits, bravery, trust, and love for her sister (who was the one who dragged her out to compete in Caravel in the first place). TBH, the female MC was annoyingly stubborn in her thinking and refused to accept guidance from those who tried to help her, but she came through stronger than expected.  The plot twists were unexpected which I liked, but I didn’t love any of the characters though I enjoyed the mystery aspect.
