"Actor Soler's lively narration swiftly draws listeners into the magical spectacle at the center of Garber's YA novel" ― Publishers Weekly, best audiobooks of 2017

This program includes a bonus interview with the author.

Welcome, welcome to Caraval ― Stephanie Garber’s sweeping tale of two sisters who escape their ruthless father when they enter the dangerous intrigue of a legendary game.

Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their powerful, and cruel, father. Now Scarlett’s father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the far-away, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over.

But this year, Scarlett’s long-dreamt of invitation finally arrives. With the help of a mysterious sailor, Tella whisks Scarlett away to the show. Only, as soon as they arrive, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval’s mastermind organizer, Legend. It turns out that this season’s Caraval revolves around Tella, and whoever finds her first is the winner.

Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But she nevertheless becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic with the other players in the game. And whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, a dangerous domino effect of consequences is set off, and her sister disappears forever.

Book quality was good.
The story and writing are good, especially for the ACOTR fans. Not sure if I will go ahead with the second part of this trilogy series though.

Caraval is a game involving magic and illusion with so many characters assisting the game scripted or should I say controlled by a Legend .. the book gives pure fantasy on how the location is set and intricate details of everything leaving us with a better imagination... You'll crave for the next book as this book will leave you with a lot of questions and expectations...

Good read.

The book was on time and came in perfect condition.
About the book itself, it was a good read i feel, though adventurous and nothing compared to the night circus . Just another read of sorts though looking forward to reading the sequel.
The story is about two sisters who wish to run away from their abusive father and live their life freely and end up playing a dangerous game which is full of charades and deception, which put both their lives in danger.

Stephanie Garber is an American author of young adult fiction, best known for writing the Caraval series.

Reading this book was like stepping into a-whole-nother world. I was swept away by the magical lure and held captive by the lusty suspicion. There were secrets around every corner and the cliffhanger at the end made me need the next book, like now!

A mixed bag

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 January 2018

Verified Purchase

I have really mixed feelings about this novel as there was so much potential, some aspects were very engaging but, ultimately, the magic didn't come alive. First up, I'll say that this is no Night Circus. If you're expecting something similar, yes, it sort of is - but it's nowhere near as good. Yet, it's still very readable. In some ways I think the book tried to achieve too much, so lacked depth and richness.

The Hunger Games comparison is also off the mark - it's not exciting or page-turning in the way that novel was. Scarlett, the main protagonist, has to follow clues once she reaches Caraval in order to find her sister and, in doing so, win the game (and a wish) but there's nothing really clever about the clues, nor is there the sense of nail-biting danger that filled the pages of The Hunger Games.

Scarlett herself was a pretty wishy-washy heroine, quite reliant on other people (particularly men) to save the day, guide her, reassure her etc. In fact, the biggest niggle for me was her relationship with Julian which read more like Mills & Boon than good literary fiction. The romance element in the Night Circus was clever, subtle and never cheesy. It's the total opposite here - to the point where I wondered if I was reading YA fiction. It may be, I'm still not sure.

I can see that the author has tried to create a magical world but nothing was built up fully enough to fill me with the sort of wonder or awe novels like Lev Grossman's The Magicians trilogy or Phil Pullman's Dark Materials have. For example, there's a scene in a clock shop towards the start of the novel that felt like it could have been the beginning of something - but it was over before it began, and neither the shop (nor any of the items in it) were revisited. Some of the descriptive writing also felt forced - like Scarlett's emotions being described as colours. It didn't add much to the novel and became a bit annoying after a while; especially as that wasn't really developed either.

I find it difficult to pinpoint exactly why this novel fell short for me. All I can say is that I found it very readable but wasn't rushing to pick it up. I was never consumed by the world of Caraval. But, equally, I didn't dislike it. And I would give the next book in the series a go.

One final word - this is a pig of a book to read on a Kindle. There are a number of notes in there (especially at the start) and even when you click on the 'zoom' option on the Kindle, the writing is still tiny. I actually made myself quite ill trying to read it on a bus! So, maybe this is one for the bookshelf as the cover is certainly very beautiful.

So many metaphorical descriptions. So many.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 February 2018

Verified Purchase

A book has never disappointed me more. I love The Night Circus and magical/fantasy books in general, and was recommended this because of it - it is nothing like The Night Circus. The descriptions are exhausting - everything is a metaphor or a simile or has three sentences to describe a dark sky (for example). I get that you need to set the scene, but sometimes less is more. I basically skim read the whole thing because the main character was so annoying and I couldn't bear to read through all her "oh no, am I doing the right thing, am I doing the wrong thing, I did the wrong thing before and it was bad, what if I do that again" with EVERY action/decision - again, it was exhausting. A nice premise for a fantasy world, it was just very poorly executed. It was as if the author was trying to fit in too many plot points so just ended up with nothing actually happening. It all just seemed very shallow. There was a brief moment of tension near the end but then, alas, the actual ending was anti-climatic. A teenager may enjoy this as an easy read, otherwise don't bother.

Very disappointing and nothing like 'The Night Circus'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 July 2019

Verified Purchase

I love books about the circus, I have no idea why, but the circus world has always been a fascination of mine so I was keen to start ‘Caraval’ and immerse myself into that world once again.

Like many others, I loved ‘The Night Circus’ and as that was the most recent circus book I had read, I couldn’t help but compare ‘Caraval’ and, unfortunately, it fell very short.

The story is set around 2 sisters Scarlett and Tella. The sisters have never left the tiny isle of Trisda where they live with a very controlling father. For years, the sisters have been pining from afar for the wonder of Caraval, a once-a-year week-long circus-type performance where the audience participates in the show. The show is a mystery and magical and to Scarlett and Tella, it represents freedom and an escape from their ruthless, abusive father. We follow the sisters as they receive their long-awaited invitations to Caraval but no sooner do they arrive, Tella is kidnapped by the show's mastermind organiser, Legend.

First off, there are letters in this book that make it super hard to read on a Kindle, even if you zoom in the font. I know that the book itself is quite pretty, so you might prefer to get a hard copy. Even so, it would be nice if this was formatted for the Kindle.

Overall this book was a big disappointment for me. I don’t know if this was because it was suggested to be read if you enjoyed ‘The Night Circus’ or if I just had really high expectations but, either way, I was left totally disappointed.

I found it really hard to like or even care about Scarlett. As our main protagonist, we are with her as she follows clues in Caraval in order to find her sister and, in doing so, win the game but there's nothing really clever about the clues, nor is there the sense of real nail-biting danger. There are a few sexual scenes in the book, which confused me as I thought the target audience for this was a bit young but perhaps not. The scenes themselves are weak and not believable and they felt a bit too fabricated, same with any death scenes too.

I have to admit that I got a bit lost in the world and not in a good Harry Potter way. I get that it was all magical but I found that once I had read a description of the environment, I immediately forgot it. Nothing descriptive about the world seemed to stick in my head.

I find it difficult to pinpoint one reason why this novel fell short for me. I was never consumed by the world or characters of Caraval and a female heroine that constant turns and is reliant on men is not really a great heroine in my view. I felt that the storyline was strong and could have offered so much more but I won’t bother with the rest of the series now.

Plot languishes whilst heroine anguishes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 15 October 2017

Verified Purchase

Scarlett is a central character whose internal voice provides the reader with commentary via her reactions to events within the novel. It is therefore especially infuriating that we must endure her endless dithering and should she/shouldn't she deliberations prior to every action, however trivial. Towards the beginning, Scarlett first nearly drowns, then nearly freezes due to misplaced modesty in front of rogueish sailor Julian. Before she can enter any room she must suffer agonies of doubt and indecision. I abandoned the book after poor Scarlett is left standing outside yet another mysterious door, which gives her time to reflect at length about incidents from her past and relationships before the plot is finally allowed to catch up and move the action on. Made me wonder if publishers Hodder and Stoughton still employ any sub-editors.

Lorraine - Geeky Galaxy

A Fun and Intriguing Start to the Series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 August 2020

Verified Purchase

This book had me hooked from the first page to the last. With a story full of twists and turns and loveable characters, it’s a book I wasn’t expecting much from but got way more than I bargained for.

The World
If you don’t like metaphors and interesting, sometimes eccentric description, this book isn’t for you. Me, I enjoyed it. Some reviewers have commented on things like “how can you taste midnight?” but I get it. It’s not so much taste midnight, it’s the all-around experience of it. If you take everything you read literally, this book won’t be for you. Scarlett also had an ability, similar to synesthesia, but with a more magical, empath-like twist, where she could experience her emotion in the form of colours, and it was interesting to read what colour combination matched the emotion.

The broader world was a tad tropey, but not so much that I didn’t enjoy it. Part of me wants to know more about the world as a whole, part of me thinks everything is about the setting of Caraval, and the point is the rest of the world is supposed to fall away until Caraval is everything. At least for a few days.

I don’t even know where to begin here. This is almost a story told from the point of view of an unreliable narrator, but it’s not really her fault. Anything and everything the characters experiences could be completely fake or it could be real, and it’s nigh on impossible to know which is which. And just when you think you’ve figured it out, and there can’t be another twist you’re not prepared for, something will hit you. Sometimes books like this annoy me. The twists seem random or not thought out. Caraval was different though. Caraval seemed well thought out. Nothing was there without a purpose and the author had a way of telling the story that drew you in so you experienced everything right along with Scarlett.

There was one problem with experiencing things along with the main character though, you’re left out of the loop a lot. The magic system is… magic? These systems are supposed to have limits that are defined. If not, what’s the point? Anyone can do anything and it’s all ok? I’m hoping this is explained more in future books otherwise the stakes might seem less concerning if someone can click their fingers and undo all the bad that’s happened.

Scarlett
Scarlett is the main character, whose point of view we experience Caraval. In the beginning, she was mildly annoying, a weak female character who I wanted to give a nudge to fight for herself. But that’s where we get the growth. Once she gets over herself at the start of the book, she becomes a character I enjoyed reading about, and one I could eventually cheer for. Her personality could’ve been more in-depth, with more story than a missing mother and abusive father, but overall, she was just about good enough to carry the story. I can only hope she grows more and is fleshed out better in further books.

Julian
The somewhat predictable love interest, but still my favourite character in this book. After all, without Julian, where would Scarlett be? Dead, probably! Julian is an enigmatic character. I’m not sure we ever find out who he is for 100% certain, but that’s one of the reasons I actually like him. His story is clearly complicated, but he’s likeable and I was rooting for Julian throughout.

Donatella
Donatella is Scarlett’s younger, more irresponsible and out of control sister. Although I think there’s a secret heart of gold hidden under the insecurity and madness. The whole plot is centered around her, but you don’t get to actually see much of her. Scarlett clearly cares deeply for her, though, and it sounds like she’s important for future books, so I’ll be interested in reading more about her.

Would I read it again? If I didn’t have thousands of other books on my list, sure. This isn’t one of those I’d pick up as a “comfort read” though.

Will I be picking up the next in the series? Yeah, eventually. I’m great at starting series and never finishing them. I’ll get on it eventually.

Would I recommend it? If you like a lot of metaphors, a little bit of romance and a magical setting, you should definitely give this one a go.

Is it going on my favourites shelf? Not quite. I enjoyed it, but not at that level.
