Caraval (Caraval, 1)

Welcome, welcome to CARAVAL, Stephanie Garber's enchanting, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling fantasy debut about two sisters swept up in a mysterious competition filled with magic, heartbreak, and danger
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 attend. 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 whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, and her sister disappears forever. Continue the adventure in Legendary and Finale--out now!BUY THE BOOK

I tried to read this book this summer and DNFed it several times as a book and audiobook. I would get in about 45 min and just couldnât get into it. I also had just finished a series I was obsessing over so it didnât help that it wasnât similar to that series. Months later I decided to give the audio a try again. I had a 4 hour drive and I didnât have many options to pick from so I went with this. I listened to it at 1.5 speed. It took about an hour and a half before I could get into it but once I was into it I didnât want to stop. Itâs definitely a slow burn but an interesting plot if youâre into twisted carnival mind games. The ending hooked me in to read the next one. I really did enjoy it. Itâs just getting past the slow beginning.
