Oh. My. Goodness!
I have been reading a lot of young adult novels in the last couple of months, and let me tell you, out of all the sagas I have recently read, CARAVAL is the one that has stand out the most for me so far.
All three books in these series are just so captivating and incredible, it was hard to pick just one as a favorite. With this said, not only am I writing a review for the entire saga in one post, but I am also naming it BOOK OF THE MONTH, or in this case TRILOGY OF THE MONTH.
REVIEW: ★★★★.8
This magical world created by the incredibly talented author Stephanie Garber, I can now consider it one of my favorite literary worlds and I cannot wait to re-read and re-live this absolutely breathtaking story. This has been one of the few sagas that when I finished reading it, all I wanted to do was start all over again for I did not want to leave.
Basically, CARAVAN is a fantasy-romance about two sisters running away from their abusive father to an enchanted island where, for one week, they're part of an immersive magical game. The way the story is written, makes the reader feel as if they are also part of the game, as we question what is real and what is an illusion. There were so many times in the book I kept questioning what was going on, and if the character's choice was the right one and this just fueled my obsession with reading it even faster to know what was going to happen next.
I loved the bond between the two sisters and how their stories and personalities evolve throughout the books. Scarlett and Donatella have now become one of my most loved female protagonists that I have encountered in a while. Both strong, brave and independent ready to fight for those they love and for what they believe is right. I couldn't get enough of their journey and of course, their love stories. On the other hand we have Legend and Julian which are just, AH! I mean, is there even a word to describe how amazing they are?
The only little tiny thing that I must say could have been longer was the ending. The last two chapters happened so fast I was left wondering and perhaps wanting a bit more. But other than that, this magical rollercoaster story with all its twists and turns will have you on the edge as well as giving you so much heartfelt emotion I have no doubt it will forever hold a place in your heart. I highly recommend you to get lost in the world of CARAVAL where its magic will make you fall in love with every page you turn.
