Our Review of 
Caraval

"Caraval" by Stephanie Garber is a captivating blend of fantasy, mystery, and romance, where nothing is quite as it seems. The story follows Scarlett Dragna, a young woman whose life has been shaped by the tyrannical control of her father. Scarlett has long dreamed of attending Caraval, the legendary game-like event known for its dazzling magic and thrilling mysteries. When an unexpected invitation arrives, she seizes the chance to escape her father’s grasp and enters a world where reality blurs with illusion.

The narrative centers around Scarlett and her younger sister, Donatella, as they navigate the treacherous and enchanting world of Caraval. Scarlett's love for her sister drives her every decision, sometimes to a fault, as she battles her fears and insecurities. While at first, Scarlett appears to be solely focused on protecting Donatella, the game challenges her to step out of her comfort zone, revealing layers of her personality she didn't know existed. Her interactions with Julian, the enigmatic sailor who helps them escape, add complexity to her journey as she learns to trust and confront her own desires.

Donatella, or Tella, is a stark contrast to her sister. Where Scarlett is cautious, Tella is bold, unafraid to push boundaries and challenge the rules. Her fierce independence and determination to live life on her own terms often put her at odds with Scarlett, yet her actions are always driven by love. The dynamic between the sisters adds depth to the story, as their contrasting personalities highlight the tension between duty and freedom, fear and courage.

Julian, initially perceived as a mere side character, quickly becomes integral to the story. His protective nature and mysterious past draw Scarlett in, leading to a slow-burn romance that’s both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Julian's actions throughout the game reveal a man torn between duty and desire, making him one of the most compelling characters in the book. His dedication to Scarlett, even when it puts his own life at risk, adds a layer of emotional intensity that keeps readers invested.

A fun fact about "Caraval" is that it was originally inspired by Garber's love for immersive experiences like Disneyland, which she sought to replicate in a literary form. The book's world-building, with its vibrant colors, atmospheric settings, and ever-present sense of danger, draws readers into a world where magic feels real and every choice matters. The vivid descriptions of Caraval’s illusions make the reader question what is real and what is part of the game, enhancing the novel’s sense of mystery.

What makes "Caraval" worth reading is its ability to transport readers to a world where the line between reality and fantasy is as thin as the turn of a page. The novel’s twists and turns keep you guessing, and the characters’ development throughout the story adds depth to the dazzling spectacle of Caraval itself. The book is more than just a game; it’s a journey of self-discovery, love, and the courage to break free from the past. If you're looking for a story that offers both magic and heart, "Caraval" is an experience you won’t want to miss.
