"An interesting and confusing book, but also parts of it, were predictable. I'm on the edge about reading the rest of the series."

Kaitlyn Kendall

"To save her sister Scarlet is propelled into the magical world of Caraval. Where nothing and no one is as it seems, Scarlet must strive to face some of her toughest challenges. A look at the bond of family and how far someone may go to Dave the ones you love, great read very fun and twisty!"

Chena

"I LOVE this series. It isn't perfect by any means but it is whimsical and fun. I don't want to give too much away but if you want to just get swept away by something reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland I think it is worth reading. The mystery aspect does feel like it wasn't planned prior to the book being written but instead like Garber was questioning and discovering the story as they wrote. I think it works in Caraval and is the reason I love this book so much"

"Very whimsical and entertaining. It keeps you guessing throughout, never knowing what is real and what is fake."
