4.5/5 Stars
General Description: Scarlett needs to escape her home and for years she's hoped to take her and her sister to the mystical Caraval. After seven years, Scarlett finally hears back from Legend, the organizer of Caraval, a game you can either watch or participate in for a fantastic prize. Scarlett, her sister Donnatella, and a new man to the island (Julian) find their way to Caraval, but they can't all stay together and they can't all win. What's real or not in Caraval, and can Scarlett figure it out to get everyone she cares about out alive?
The good:
- Such a quick read, completely engaging.
- I loved the world this was set it, I want to see it on a screen so badly.
- The whole mystery of it was fantastic.
- I really loved the amount of side character and the constant feeling of distrusting everyone in the game. It truly felt like I was in the game.
The loss of a half star:
- So much happens at the end, it was overwhelming as an audiobook for me personally.
Overall: If you like fantasy with a good bit of mystery and action involved, this would be a great physical book pick but could overwhelm you audiobook wise.
