Ready to get my hands on a copy!
Was so excited to get my copy. Read the prologue some time ago-it sets the tone nicely. I’d always thought this was a duology, but there’s mention of part 3 on Goodreads.
Beautiful cover, just like Caraval.
Up to ch11. Waiting for the start of the game. Dante is infuriating, but I’m still convinced he’ll play a bigger part in proceedings.
Finished. I think I liked this one more than Caraval. (There weren’t as many mentions about the color purple in it.) It was neat to focus on Tella in this book but sometimes her independence comes off as stupidity and pride. There are seemed to be a fair bit of vampire imagery in this book, which seemed odd at times.
Night one. Not sure about less purple-it features heavily in the shop Tella has just gone to. Dangerous times, but I’m intrigued as to who is playing what role here.
Night two-up to ch22. So many questions, my head is hurting! Want Tella to succeed but I’m concerned to know what price she’ll pay.
Up to ch37. I hope we’re not being given the full story about mother. Tella is seeming to jump to conclusions very quickly.
Finished. Review on home page. Loved it, perhaps more than Caraval but for different reasons. Can’t shake Mimi Albert’s review out of my head...she’s right. This is more than a game.
Just started legendary and I got in a slump. Go figure -_-
Mod
Haha this book is total drama in the best way!

It's timeeee... this better be magical
@Bhavik why? Did you not like the first one?

I dont remember what I didnt like about it since I read it more than a year ago and the RTC remained RTC but I still know the uneasy feeling about it.
The Night Circus felt better than this but again it wasnt worth the hype according to me!
So I am betting on this one to be good because I know Authors usually change for the better!
I liked The Night Circus too, but I felt like the first book in this series had so many original ideas but that it could have been done better. We'll see what i think of this one in the end.

There was a nice plot and idea but the execution and character development werent satisfying
Hi, I am joining this :)
A heart to protect. A debt to repay. A game to win.
After being swept up in the magical world of Caraval, Donatella Dragna has finally escaped her father and saved her sister Scarlett from a disastrous arranged marriage. The girls should be celebrating, but Tella isn’t yet free. She made a desperate bargain with a mysterious criminal, and what Tella owes him no one has ever been able to deliver: Caraval Master Legend’s true name.
The only chance of uncovering Legend’s identity is to win Caraval, so Tella throws herself into the legendary competition once more—and into the path of the murderous heir to the throne, a doomed love story, and a web of secrets…including her sister's. Caraval has always demanded bravery, cunning, and sacrifice. But now the game is asking for more. If Tella can’t fulfill her bargain and deliver Legend’s name, she’ll lose everything she cares about—maybe even her life. But if she wins, Legend and Caraval will be destroyed forever.
Welcome, welcome to Caraval...the games have only just begun.
