Caraval by Stephanie Garber
5.0

I went into this book with no knowledge of what it was about. I just always saw it on list of "I see you've read this book, you might enjoy Caraval." Finally, I sat down to listen to this book, thanks to Overdrive, and wow. I really enjoyed this book. I was really drawn into the magic of the world, and the rules that magic follows.

After finishing this book, I realized that everything this book was, was what I wanted "The Night Circus" to be. I wanted to be completely transported into a different world where magic is real and beautiful, and I didn't feel that with the other book, but I felt like that with "Caraval." It hurts to say that because I don't want to compare the two books, but it is how I felt. Everything "Caraval" had is what I thought I'd be getting from "The Night Circus."

I enjoyed this book, and can't wait to finish the series. It isn't my favorite, but it is certainly very enjoyable and I've already recommended it to friends to read.
