I think there should be a special category for books that keeps you reading till late in the night.
Let's say that a book that keeps you reading till to 2am it's a book you love.
I didn't read the Caraval series but I will surely do. It wasn't a problem as I had no problems with the world building or the characters.
It's a light hearted, entertaining and gripping story. The author is a talented storyteller and the plot always kept my attention.
The world building is fascinating and detailed, the characters are interesting and well developed.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
