Caraval is the first series I have read by Stephanie Garber I love her writing style so much. Like I said before you miss things the first time round it brings you more shock thinking how the heck did I miss this!!? The fact you can never tell during the game who you can trust who your true friends are.
The romance of this was shocking I couldn’t believe the things I saw like last time I didn’t see that it was spicy . Scarlett and Julian was my favourite couple honestly the way Julian was always there for Scarlett during the rough trials always there on end. Though with rough situations between the two there’s always going to be bad communication but it always somehow works out in the end.
Tella- I found her really frustrating frankly her attitude towards Scarlett just always boiled my buttons I think with tella for me it’s always a hit and miss. The fact she ran off to caraval then putting her own sister in danger have no knowledge what to expect that just frustrated me like why did you do that bro?!!?
Scarlett- Scarlett pov was interesting I found some of her side very brave the way she handled the game. I can see why people don’t like her she can be annoying putting herself in danger but she’s always making sacrifices that I just admire about her more.
Julian- What can I say about him the way he deeply cares for scarlet just melts me protecting her. Boy there was so many obstacles with Julian that you love and hate him then you wanna give him a big hug doing the right thing.
The story got right down to business and was an easy read, no fluff. A "none of it was real" ending but this one felt like a relief. Kept me guessing the entire time but I never could've predicted the ending. I wasn't a fan of Julian+Scarlett so I liked that it wasn't the main focus of the book. Biggest gripe was the premise of Caraval and why anyone would participate in such a thing... especially the goal of finding Tella where seemingly the other participants were just extras. I would like to read the next book though.
