Ever since their mother passed away, their father has become cruel and abusive to his children and practically holds them both prisoner, never allowing them to leave the island. I just didn’t love it like I had expected and hoped to.Ĭaraval tells the story of two sisters, Scarlett and Tella, who live on a tiny island with their overbearing father. That’s not to say I didn’t like the novel, because I really did. Based on that comparison and so many glowing reviews from my fellow bloggers, I fully expected Caraval to be a 5 star read for me and ended up so disappointed that it didn’t come close to that. Caraval is a book that was instantly on my radar as soon as I started seeing people comparing it to Erin Morganstern’s The Night Circus, which is one of my all-time favorite books. Unfortunately, this was the case for me with Stephanie Garber’s Caraval. It’s always so disappointing when one of your most anticipated reads doesn’t quite live up to the hype.
