Finale: A Caraval Novel

(Spoiler Warning) The rating is 4 stars, but my true rating is 4.5 stars. The Caraval series is a wonderful whirlwind of colors and excitement, adventure and danger, love and heartbreak. The characters were smoothly developed and I loved that each sister had a book dedicated to their own journey with the finale being a mix. Caraval is a place of magic and wonder, but get swept to far and you'll be lost forever. Beautifully written :) My only critique was that I wish their mother's character was a little more developed, she felt like a last minute addition. Her story and place in the cause of events was well done, but she herself felt very abrupt after being freed from the cards. Not a critique, but the little devil in me secretly hoped Tella would be swept away with Jacks, but her true ending was perfect <3

I enjoyed getting everybody's ending. But this book wasn't my favorite of this series. Everything felt a little rushed and flat, including the romance. I just wanted a little more from our characters and the ending.

Loved every minute of this book! In fact, I loved every minute of the Caraval series and am quite sad to see it end although it ended beautifully. The author's almost poetic form of writing is magical just as the story she wrote is. Bravo!
