The book revolves around two sisters: Scarlet and Donatella Dragna, who wish to escape from their cruel father and enter into the world of the Caraval, a magical show hosted once in a year in an isolated place. As they escape with a mysterious boy, Scarlet realises her sister is missing and the only way to find her is to win the game and save her. What happens in the process makes up the rest of the book.After a lot of doubts and assumptions, I bought the first book and it did live up to my expectations. The world building is the highlight of the book followed by the intricate plot. Scarlet, being the main character, I expected her to come out stronger and braver through the course of the book but she makes an average heroine which makes me cut off a star. Julian, however, was a very interesting character and till the end of the book you keep on guessing whrre his loyalties lie. Colourful and magical as it seems, it's dark and manipulative from within. The last 100-150 pages stole the show and literally blew my mind.If you are a lover of fantasy, slow-burn romance, secrets and deceptive villains, this book will surely impress you. Can't wait to grab the sequel and get lost in it!

this is one of my very first novels that I started reading during my summer vacations and this is the book that got me into reading novels I love this book and the story is absolutely awesome.I totally recommend this book if you like fantasy stories with adventurous journey and slow burning romance.

The book was in a good condition.But it is a *pirated copy*.Text alignments and sizes are different on each page.But for the price ,I think it's quite good.

Definitely one of the best books I've ever read. I was very skeptic about it being a fantasy mixed with romance but it was very surprising to my liking, to see how different it was. The amount of plot twists I had discovered every chapter and how well the plot was balanced, it all made sense and at the end and came a full circle. I assume some people might find the metaphors pretty deep and highly-descriptive. But even if you read without fully experiencing it I'd say the storyline is very well written. I myself understood all the descriptions and i must say it was very awesome. I'd really recommend this book if you're new to fantasy or just starting to get into it, i really liked it :))

The magical atmosphere, filled with dazzling performances, hidden secrets, and dangerous games, is enchanting and suspenseful. The characters are well-developed, with Scarlett's determination and Tella's impulsive nature driving the plot forward. While the romance is a significant element of the story, it's the underlying mystery and the thrilling game of Caraval that truly captivates.The author keeps readers guessing, with unexpected twists and turns that keep the pages turning. Caraval is a perfect escape for fans of fantasy and romance. It's a world of magic, deception, and love, where anything is possible.

Should buy it. It was in a good condition except, this one looked a lil old and there was a lil dirt. But in that amount it's completely worth it

I actually got to know about this book from a recommendation on YouTube, and I'm definitely impressed. Safe to say, this book totally lived up to the hype. The atmosphere of this book was so magical and flowy! I believe this book will be suitable for a fairly mature 11-year old, like me haha. Full of fantasy and magic, this book def deserves the hype!
