Summary


The Caraval trilogy is a young adult fantasy series that follows the story of Scarlett and Donatella Dragna, two sisters who are invited to participate in Caraval, a mysterious game that is said to grant the winner any wish they desire.

As Scarlett and Tella embark on their journey to Caraval, they are drawn into a world of danger, deception, and romance. They must use all of their wits and courage to survive the game and find their way back home. The trilogy follows the sisters as they uncover the secrets of Caraval and the mysterious figure who runs it, Legend. They also must deal with the dangers of the game and the consequences of their choices.


What You Should Expect


Caraval is a fast-paced, action-packed book. There are plenty of twists and turns, and you'll never know what's coming next. The book also serves romance and lots of tension between the couples. However, the romance is not plenty and at some point, I felt a bit disappointed like you get quite a bit of breadcrumbs between the couples.


It is still worth reading because of the amazing plot, likable characters, and the best part - the magical setting. Although, in the second book I felt like the ending was a bit rushed but the entire book surely did make up for it so I let it slide.


Why You Should Read Caraval


If you're looking for a book that will transport you to another world, then Caraval is definitely worth reading. The book is full of magic, mystery, and adventure. One of the things I really like about this book is its short chapters! You'll meet a cast of unforgettable characters, including Scarlett, Tella, Legend, and Julian. Even the side characters are fun to read about. Reading this you'll be swept up in a plot that will keep you guessing until the very end.


Overall

In my opinion, Caraval trilogy is well-written and entertaining. If you're a fan of YA fantasy, then you'll definitely want to check it out. I give this 5 out of 5 stars. It's a great book, and absolutely perfect in my eyes despite the minor flaws. I love the vibes in the books, I love how it made me feel so it deserves 5 stars. If you're looking for a fast-paced, action-packed fantasy with a bit of romance, then you'll definitely enjoy it.
