Ok I have no words for this IT WAS A LOT and I wish it didn't end NEVER, but like Legend said: Caraval don't need to be inmortal because it is my FOREVER
3.5⭐️
Well, well I read this because it was on my library and I said why not? But I guess it was ok? Like the world is awesome but TRUST ME I ACTUALLY SHIP the Darkling and Alina? That for me was the best ship ever tbh. But it totally broke my heart that I wasn't going to actually work out. But overall it was good. That's it good lol. Mmmmmm but i think I've read better fantasy ya
Totally fast-paced, addicting, and enjoyable. I loved Day's personality because it SURPRISED me. I've always thought that YA, dystopian guys were ALWAYS the same ( and I mean I love that they are the same lmao) But Day? ANOTHER WHOLE STORY. HE's always so caring but not mean. I loved that. June was alright. She turned 360 degrees in character development. Did I hate her? Well, I kind of did. But overall I liked her. But yeah she's the same as any other YA, dystopian girl. to me. But in the end, she turned out better in my opinion.
What I still can't UNDERSTAND, is WHY THE HECK ARE THIS CHARACTERS 15??????
If they were 17 I would've accepted, but in my opinion, they DON'T act 15 AT ALL. Taking all those decisions and being 15?? Nah I can't believe it. And is not because they were making “bad” decisions, just that they were WAY too mature for being 15.
Another thing, I LOVE enemies to lovers. But this one was too... rushed? I don't know. I didn't have any feelings at all for them. Like I thought it was cute and all, but I didn't have those butterflies I always have.
For some reason, I even shipped June with Thomas Lmao.
Those were NOT my favorite things about this. But overall ADDICTING. And I WOUld recommend.
I picked this book mostly because I wanted that old YA, dystopia I used to always loved. And I'm right I LOVE 2010s dystopia. For some reason it even reminded me of the Shatter Me series.
Holly pretty much woke up and said let's write the most messed up thriller of all time, huh? When you think you have the answers they turn out to be way more twisted than you could EVER imagine. You can't even trust the main character's thoughts, because she's just as messed up, but...i'm not mad about it. Reading this, I even started to get paranoid with the main character, i was getting chills with every little detail she was catching and every single lie. In fact, I even AGREED with her on things in real life i would certainly NOT do. This scream lights, camera, BIG secrets EVERYWHERE, DONT TRUST ANYONE. This might even be better that A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, it gave me all the feelings of that series in one perfect book.
It gave me EVERYTHING I wanted and so much MOREEE. This is the kind of ya romance I was expecting. It deserves 6 ⭐️
Why can't we have at least a happy ending? Hmm, I have thoughts: first, this book was way better than Legend. June, she changed a lot, really a lot. I like enemies to lovers and slow burn, this is why June and Day together is not my first option but is fine, I guess. But WHY did I ship Aden and June??? Ok so hear me out: THIS IS WHAT I WANT, and enemies to lovers SLOW BURN. Like what else do you need? But look, Day is a really good pick for June, but I don't really know. Is not my fav.
I'm soooo confused with the colonies or sum like that. I don't get why the people gave me the creeps.
This is just a breath of fresh air wow. This book GOSH so beautifully thought with everything about Val's life, i don't know how to explain the feeling of relatability i felt with her. The little fantasy element it had was just so unique, the romance was very believable that i felt for this characters a warmth i've NEVER felt before. The story has the best pacing i've experienced with any graphic novel, i've never felt things were going too fast, this was just simply perfect. The art style WOW there's no words on how beautiful it is. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT ITS PERFECT, NEW FAVORITE.
