CARAVAL- STEPHANIE GARBER * Book Review* Author- Stephanie Garber Genre- Fantasy, Romance Rating- ⭐/5 Scarlett and Donatella Dragna wished for just one thing their entire lives- witnessing Caraval, the majestic circus and its mysterious ringmaster Legend. One fine day, their wish comes true and Legend himself invites them to the game. But can Tella and Scarlett manage to escape their abusive father and reach the faraway island on right time? Is it really just a game? 🎭🎭🎭 Yes. One star is all that I could spare for this book which cost me quite a fortune. I have never ever come across a more stupid and brainless plot & characters. From the very beginning, I couldn't understand why on earth is the father so abusive and cruel? Why are you so cruel to your own daughters? Thrashing them left right and centre.

*Book Review* *Author- Erin Morgenstern *Genre- Fantasy, Romance *Rating- ⭐⭐.5/5 The mysterious Circus of Dreams arrives at midnight without any notice and leaves likewise. It has the most majestic performers from around the world. But deep within it lies intricate magical acts that keeps it all together. Who is behind it? Is it a dream or a nightmare? I love it how every time these fantastical tales surrounding a circus try so hard to sound evasive, elusive and mysterious. To make this whole enchanting atmosphere almost to the point that you start smelling caramel popcorn in your room. The profound effect of the hype around the book on your sensations. You anticipate a major show down/ face-off/duel all throughout the 300+ pages because you have been promised so, but all you get is young people manipulating other innocent people for their *love*. Wait a sec, am I reading the same novel or Romeo & Juliet? Erin Morgenstern's greatest virtue lies in her proses and world buildin

These are my exact thoughts as well after I finished reading this novel.

Coming to the novel, Richard, James, Oliver, Alexander, Wren, Meredith and Filippa have been a bunch ever since they took admission at Dellecher Classical Conservatory. And a fine balance of power existed among them, in both reel and real life.
