  • @KarikiNeroli
    My review on goodreads for this book was: "I wanted girlboss but all I got was gaslit."
  • The funniest part of caraval to me was the shear thoroughness in which every dress was described and how ugly they all sounded
  • @dannyi.2945
    When she described a dress as "the colour of midnight laughter" I threw the book across the room 😩
  • @rgs8970
    Alternating picturing Donatello (the turtle) and Donatella Versace as the sister, either of which could have improved the book
  • This is astoundingly vindicating. Reading this book is like running on a treadmill thinking you’ll get somewhere
  • Patiently waiting for Rachel to launch her “Teens Deserve Better Books” campaign 😅 I’d sign up in a heartbeat
  • @lycianempire
    Like most stories, this would be infinitely improved if it had an entire Muppet cast. Only Miss Piggy would not put up with any of this BS.
  • @ragingdevi
    "Poop?" "Yes this book is poop." Crying 😂😂😂
  • @silkwormchan
    Off topic but the parenting interlude was adorable!!
  • At twenty minutes in I became convinced this is the Truman show and everyone around Scarlett are actors
  • @Marie45610
    The character flaw or quirk of being easily embarrassed isn't terrible, but it sounds like it was just done super poorly.
  • @xbjrrtc
    My dumb ass thought the book was "Caravel", so I was picturing 15th century Portuguese ships 😅
  • @adrienne8831
    no matter how bad uni gets, it is a highlight to see rachel tear into bad books haha
  • @plutoh9958
    "I'm salt, like Lot's wife"😂😂😂 this is so perfect! Love that so much🤣
  • @idk-YS
    The entire of the first book DID NOT make sense. Like why couldn’t they just simply fake their deaths and leave?? Why did Tella put her sister through the trauma💀
  • I did read Caraval when it came out, but I honestly have no memory of it. I remember being really intrigued by the premise, but confused and disappointed with the actual novel, and that's literally all I remember. It was very forgettable apparently Edit: Omg, I have synesthesia and I love reading books with characters who have it, because there's a lot you can do with it in writing. The fact that Scarlet has synesthesia and I managed to forget that speaks volumes
  • @faithmoir1637
    i picked up this book thinking it was the night circus bc a lot of my friends were HYPING up the night circus (rightly so, it slaps) but when i read it i was like.... what are you ON
  • SPOILER The reason her feelings have colors is bc you find out in book 3 that she actually has SUPER POWERS because her dad is the head of all the gods, gods that aren't even mentioned until book 2. Like.. What.
  • @marah.7528
    The most frustrating thing to me is that ALL of the world-building, “true plot”, anything like that, is in the MIDDLE of book two! In terms of pacing a trilogy, this has got to be one of the most confusing to me. Caraval ends up feeling like a first draft of a decent (?) duology of legendary and finale.
