4 stars!

Uhh, I didn't expect to like this as much as I did! I'm not sure if it's because I was in the mood for something magical, yet not overly complex, that this book made it for me, or is it just that the series is honestly good!

With a whimsical setting, and a story that promises a quest, and a slow burn- Caraval is a fairly short book that is able to transmit the beauty/madness of the Circus... if this Circus would instead be a game where only VIP people could attend, where they were given clues to find/solve a mystery and where magic is all around us.

The writer took me through this beautiful word in a very engaging way - yeah, I was hooked from page 20- playing my mind around with the different plot twists that I thought were super obvious, just to see the main PoV think about them 2 pages after (LOL).

I wasn't a huge fan of the end tho, but I'm 100% continuing with the series and keen to see how the story continues to unfold!
