For years Scarlett has written to Legend, the master of Caraval, hoping that someday her dream would come true to be able to be a part of his games. Scarlett would love to escape her Father's cruel reign over she and her sister.
When Scarlett's sister Tella arranges for the girls to be "kidnapped" and then disappears Scarlett is frantic to find her. Scarlett is set to be married and now she must find her sister before their father finds them.
From the moment Scarlett arrives at this year's Caraval she is told that it is only a game. Things seem so real though that Scarlett doesn't know who to believe nor if she can trust her heart to a stranger she has just met. And what about Legend? Is his motivation for bringing Scarlett and Tella to Caraval steeped in old family legends and revenge? Will Scarlett be able to find Tella before it is too late for both of them?
Caraval was an interesting page-turner. I enjoyed the other-world setting and the twists and turns that the game took. Scarlett's love interest definitely seemed worthy to be the hero of the story. At first I thought Scarlett's sister Donatella was just a spoiled-rotten child that didn't deserve Scarlett's devotion, but by the end of the book she turned out to be quite devious in her plans. I'm looking forward to seeing what the next book holds for the sisters. Legend still seems to be an unknown character working his puppet strings through his players so I definitely hope that more is revealed about him in the next book. Definitely an interesting read that held my attention and endeared the characters to me.
