Customer Reviews

Caravan was an easy and an enjoyable read.

Not my usual kind of reading. Bought for my daughter as a gift and picked it up one day and couldn't stop till the end. Loved it.

A book with a feel

Very descriptive so much you can hear the music and feel like you are truly in this world. Very well written story.

Worth the Hype

A lot of books that booktok promotes are overhyped, but this is definitely one that deserves the hype it gets! The writing is so descriptive and whimsical; there's so much vivid imagery which makes you feel almost as if you're really there living the experience alongside the characters. The world-building is exceptional. The storyline itself is amazing, the writing style captivating, and overall this book honestly exceeded my expectations

Dust jacket WAS NOT on the book! Nothing said it was missing! Not happy!

Nothing said that the dust jacket was missing! I am not happy! Now I just have a plain, solid black book.

Magic and mystery

This was an easy read and I enjoyed the mystery and magic of Caraval. It’s a little more young adult so I gave it 4/5 stars. I usually like a little more depth. I will definitely continue reading the series and see how the next mystery in book 2 unfolds.

Pretentious

It tried too hard to be extravagant and descriptive without a proper flow, like reading a cheap knock off of an 18th century gothic novel. I could not finish it, maybe I'm finally too old for young adult novels :(

Very good book

If your into mystery books and fairy tale with magic involved. This book is good and easy to read.
