Remember, its only a game...
Scarlet Dragna has never left her little island of Trisda but has always dreamed of visiting Caraval a once a year, week long show where invitees participate in the magic. She has written to the Master of the game, Legend, for over 7 years and he has finally sent tickets for herself and her sister, Donatella, to come and take part in the magic that is Caraval. For Scarlet and Donatella, Caraval is a way to escape the abuse of their father but Scarlet is very cautious and doesn't like to take chances. She needs to keep her focus before she loses her sister forever.
I have to admit that the beginning of the book was very slow for me and at a point I wanted to give up reading it, but something told me to hold on and give it another shot. As soon as Scarlet arrived at Caraval, I was captivated with the way Garber painted a world of colour, mystery and love. The book is beautifully written and has the power to draw you in. If you like being transported to other worlds and being captivated by magic, then this book is definitely for you.
3/5*
