Caraval by Stephanie Garber Takes the Crown as My Ultimate Literary Delight!
This book is my all-time favorite one. I read it instantly when it came out in 2017 and then I waited for so long for the whole series to be completed to read it again. And here this year finally I have come around to reading the book series. currently, I am reading the second book. I thought let’s write a review for the first one so I don’t forget the feelings and emotions it stirred within me. Here is the description of the book;
Welcome to Caraval, where nothing is quite what it seems..
Scarlett has never left the tiny isle of Trisda, pining from afar for the wonder of Caraval, a once-a-year week-long performance where the audience participates in the show. Caraval is Magic. Mystery. Adventure. And for Scarlett and her beloved sister Tella it represents freedom and an escape from their ruthless, abusive father.
When the sisters’ long-awaited invitations to Caraval finally arrive, it seems their dreams have come true. But no sooner have they arrived than Tella vanishes, kidnapped by the show’s mastermind organiser, Legend. Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But nonetheless she quickly becomes enmeshed in a dangerous game of love, magic and heartbreak. And real or not, she must find Tella before the game is over, and her sister disappears forever.
GENRE
Fantasy, Magic Mystery Romance.
THEME AND TONE
Beautiful and Poetic. Not poetry but the theme is whimsical….like faraway lands and fairytales. It’s different from any other fantasy book you have ever read.
LANGUAGE AND WRITING STYLE
Easy to read and Gripping
CHARACTERS
Oh, I love the characters. There isn’t a higher power or inherently wicked individuals; instead, there are people who carry their own unique scars and beauty. There is no hero and villain. Every character is just intriguing and mysterious.
