Caraval Review: the magical circus book we deserve
If you’ve read my review of the Night Circus, you’d know that I found it lackluster considering all the hype it had. It’s not that I thought Caraval wouldn’t live up to its hype. There are just some books where I wait for the hype to die down so I can get ahold of the library book without a billion holds in front of me. I can’t be on the first wave of excitement for every book, I’m just not that fast with library holds.
I loved this book. I listened to the audiobook, and it was amazing. It felt like I was watching it, and it think it would be a great movie or television show. Another bonus of listening to it was that the narrator does a great accent for Julian. It made him come alive and it was way more interesting to hear his accent than it would have been to hear the voice I gave him in my head.
All the Spanish words in the book were also so much better read in Spanish. I took Spanish for a long time, and I probably would have read them correctly in my head, but I wouldn’t have been able to nail the accent like the narrator. I enjoyed the narrator so much that I’m listening to Legendary as well.
Scarlet was a very relatable and enjoyable character to follow. I really understood her need to be safe, smart, and provide for her sister. Those strengths did often show themselves to be weaknesses though. I thought it was interesting to see how the attributes she prided herself in being were actually holding her back.
I loved getting to see her interact in the world and with Julian. I thought this book did a great job with thinking through all the possibilities of the game. It felt like Garber wanted to acknowledge our intelligence as readers to have the character ask the questions we were asking and thinking them through. She didn’t make Scarlet dumb. She also didn’t follow some tropes I thought she was marching toward–which is always pleasantly surprising.
The next book doesn’t follow Scarlet, although she’s still in the story, and I love books that show the growth of characters we’ve already followed, while we get to follow new characters. That way their story doesn’t have to end, but we get fresh characters. It’s like continuing the series which allows us to flesh out the world more and delve deeper into characters, but also allows us to feel like we’re reading a first book!
I’m really enjoying this series and I’ve already recommended it to others. What did you think of this trilogy?

Reviews for "The magic of the big top: Celebrating the legacy of the circus"
1. Jane - 1 star - The Magical Circus was a complete disappointment. I had heard so many great things about it, but it fell flat for me. The storyline was confusing and poorly developed, making it hard to stay engaged throughout the show. The acting was subpar, with little emotion or depth in the characters. Overall, I found it to be a waste of time and money.
2. Robert - 2 stars - I had high expectations for The Magical Circus, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The performances were underwhelming, lacking energy and enthusiasm. The set design was also lackluster, failing to create the immersive atmosphere that one would expect from a circus-themed show. The attempts at comedy fell flat, and the whole production felt disjointed and inconsistent. I wouldn't recommend it.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to The Magical Circus, but it ended up being a letdown. The pacing was off, with slow and dragging scenes that seemed to go on forever. The magic tricks were average at best, failing to impress or amaze. The music was forgettable and didn't enhance the overall experience. I left the show feeling disappointed and wishing I had spent my time and money elsewhere.
4. Mark - 3 stars - The Magical Circus had its moments, but overall, it didn't fully capture my attention. While some of the acts were impressive and showcased great skill, others felt repetitive and lacked originality. The storyline was muddled and hard to follow, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the performance. The production values were decent, but it wasn't enough to elevate the overall experience. I left feeling somewhat underwhelmed.
5. Emily - 2 stars - The Magical Circus had an interesting concept, but it failed to deliver. The performers seemed unenthusiastic and lacked charisma, making it hard to connect with their characters. The show lacked cohesion, jumping from one act to another without a clear structure. The overall execution felt rushed and half-hearted, leaving me wanting more. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a truly magical circus experience.
