    To be honest, I want the second book to stay in Scarlett's POV. I don't know, I just like the way she narrated everything and I want to stick with her.

      Same! I’m on chapter 6 of legendary and I actually had to come here to look for a review to remind me of some details! It completely threw me off that the second book is in tella’s point of view!

    I loved Caraval, too! I am trying to get my boyfriend to read it. I loved that Caraval was an interactive place and not just a show you go see for a couple of hours. It's almost like Garber was taking the "running away with the circus" and turning it on it's head slightly.

    just finished reading caraval and honestly it was very repetitive. I didn't really enjoy it. I've read alot of books with magic and this one didn't capture me at all. it was really slow throughout. I had a hard time getting into the story and wasn't very into the charaters. I feel bad because I really wanted to like this book. but after reading it I know they're better written descriptions of magical world's. all the adjectives in this book are way to much. I will try to read this again later.

      @ms-tz8jo 6 років тому +3

      I finished it in 8 hours. And I loved the writing style. It wasn't repetitive at all. If you're looking for something more fast paced than this, then you better start looking right now because Caraval had an excellent pace. It was rather fast tbh, but not overwhelmingly hasty. Idk what do you mean by the 'adjectives' because the author definitely didn't throw bombastic words at our face. Everything was well explained with beautiful imagery and I loved how magical it was! Honestly, cannot wait for Book 2!

    I honestly just couldn't get into this book. I didn't really enjoy it until I got to like the last 100 pages. I was kind of confused and lost throughout this book, I didn't get the whole concept of caraval. I felt like scarlett and julian fell in love almost instantly and it just didn't seem as real. I did like a few aspects of this book though! I loved the bond between the two sisters, how it talked about their abusive father, and acknowledged the fact that scarlett wasn't necessarily "property". I loved this review though! your videos are always amazing, and I love hearing your thoughts!!

    I do admit I left myself get into a argument with another reviewer who just ripped this to shreds. But I ended up watching other reviews of hers and see she has a pattern of doing this to success artist. First time I have ever got into an argument of a book review lol I was kind of upset with myself over it but I guess I loved this book that much. Bardugo, Taylor, Maas have been my three favorite authors but now we have Garber and she just might take the number one spot!

    tbh even though I enjoyed the book, it seemed quite predictable to me, because since they said it all was just a game, I doubted anything that was happening it the book, and kind of thinking helped me figure out what was actually happening about tens of pages before Scarlett. I'm not really whether it made me enjoy the book less, but it honestly made me feel smart and get irritaded by Scarlett
    (Hope it makes sense at least a little, I'm still trying to figure out English and stuff)

    The game of Caraval was like Hunger Games?? Better watch The Game with Douglas. And why is Caraval always described as a carnival? It is a little village. Overall overhyped and the twist/reveal was awkward and never happened. Also, insta-love. 2/5.

      Alithia451 true! It was pretty bad...
      Scarlett was the most naive and annoying character I've ever read from - I hated her 😑 Also when Scarlett said to Tella "You can't be in love with someone you just met" I laughed out loud, because she knows Julian for like 5 days, but it's totally true love 😂

    Overrated, a really good book, but not as good as she says

    i hated this book it has a lot of cliches plus the writing's just okay... The way she writes her supposedly cheesy lines reminds me of the most dreadful line anyone can find in a book: "i let out a breath I didn't know I was holding" though in third person.
