Add to GoodreadsBuy on AmazonItās over & I want more. Stephanie Garber is a master of descriptive writing. I was constantly blown away by how real everything was in my mind. I always had vivid pictures in my mind of how the fabric of the dresses felt, how the city of Valenda looked, & even how the characterās signature scents smelled.

Add to GoodreadsBuy on AmazonThis was a āstay up until 4am because I couldnāt put it downā book. I absolutely loved it! Think Cirque du Soleil meets āThe Night Circusā with a splash of āAlice in Wonderlandā; but make it dark & a little twisted. UGH!!! So, so, so, so good! I didnāt know this series was a prequel to the āOnce Upon a Broken Heartā series. I started to tuck into OUABH, and something made me stop 2 pages in & look online to see if I should read Caraval first. Everything I could find (while avoiding spoilers) said yes, read […]
