Description

In a world where magic intertwines with reality, the return to CARAVAL promises an adventure that will sweep readers off their feet. Stephanie Garber and Rosie Thorns craft an enchanting narrative that invites audiences to lose themselves in a realm filled with dazzling illusions and mysterious characters. The atmosphere buzzes with excitement as players step into the fantastical games that test their courage, wit, and heart, all under the watchful gaze of the enigmatic Master of Ceremonies.

As the story unfolds, themes of friendship, love, and betrayal surface, drawing readers deeper into the emotional tapestry of the characters’ journeys. With breathtaking settings and vividly drawn imagery, both authors weave a tale that combines intricate twists with heartfelt moments. The allure of CARAVAL is as irresistible as the games themselves, leaving readers enthralled and yearning for more of this captivating universe where anything is possible and nothing is quite what it seems.

❄️1 star.🎄EDIT: 1.5 stars (Reason: I didn't like the morals behind this book, but that aside, it wasn't a bad book at all.)Not sure what this book was trying to convey here. I honestly pretend this novella doesn't exist -- it's literally dead to me. Felt like a disappointment after the beautiful, beautiful piece of art that is Finale.🫰FAVOURITE: Loved seeing more of Scarlett, Julian, Tella and Legend.👍The art was so good! I forgot Julian had a ponytail.👍The writing was still Stephanie Garber, which meant it felt whimsical and made me realise how much I love her writing.👎The plot was kind of morally gray and lowkey questionable. It lacked explanations and even had sensitive topics like harassment (although this was later justified not to be, it seemed like it at the time). It felt a bit like Stockholm Syndrome. We seem to forget that this is a YA series, and I wouldn't encourage children and teenagers to be reading this.

The story was cute and fun, but somehow it almost felt childish. I know the books are YA but this one felt aimed at an even younger age group than the others.
