A review by kaitlynredwing
Caraval by Stephanie Garber

5.0

Caraval is officially one of my favorite books of 2016. I haven't read The Night Circus, but from reviews I believe they are quite different, so don't let this deter you from reading this beautiful book.

Caraval isn't just a game, not exactly. It's about finding yourself within this world full of mystery and magic and fulfilling the object of the game within a deadline. It was fast-paced, addicting, and I continually tried to guess what would happen next then finding myself pleasantly surprised when I was wrong.

This book makes you question everyone and everything. Who do you trust? What is real? I honestly need to go back and re-read it just to try and figure it out more myself. Not that I'm confused, I'm not. It's just amazing how many times I thought I had this book figured out when Stephanie Garber would throw another curve ball and completely knock me off balance.

Caraval is a story of family, love, and mystery. What would you do to save a family member or yourself? This was a magical story that kept me guessing until the end. AND THAT ENDING! I hope Stephanie Garber continues on with this story, I will be definitely be picking up any books she writes in the future.

Thank you, Flatiron Books for this ARC and to Goodreads for hosting the giveaway. This is a book I will recommend to everyone and definitely end up buying finished copies once released.
