Not what I was thinking when I started but was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the Caraval.
I guess I enjoyed it because I wasn't playing.
Interesting fantasy and reality blended together with all kinds of different upside down rules and clues.
Finding and knowing who really loves you is the best prize along with knowing your self worth.

*Trigger warning, there is domestic violence depicted in this story.
I picked this up after reading Stephanie Garber's novel Once Upon a Broken Heart and wanted to check out her first series. Even more so, after I heard that some characters from the Caraval series are mentioned/shown in Once Upon A Broken Heart as well. I've had the first two books in the Caraval series since they were published. This book has more of a dark, mysterious, and sometimes dangerous feel to the atmosphere of the world. I really enjoyed the adventure and felt like I was at Caraval. Who doesn't wish they had an enchanted dress!? I was invested in finding Tella alongside Scarlet. I look forward to continuing the trilogy and learning more about the Fates.
