i feel like it's worth the read but definitely don't go in with high expectations just because it is rather straightforward and you kind of always know what's about to happen it's just a very basic vampire plotline and i liked the characters

Liked

it's very similar in plot kind of to the first one but like different character different reasons why they're playing this game and it's just interesting to see the difference between how the two sisters play caraval

Disliked

honestly the setup sounds really fun and i really thought i was gonna love it but it doesn't really get good until they get to northanger abbey which happens like three-fourths of the way through the book maybe like two-thirds i don't know at any rate it didn't happen soon enough for my liking so i didn't love the book

Liked

i ended up giving this book a four stars for the first part of this book i was like this is a very solid like 3.5 kind of star read then this one thing was revealed and i was like there we go that's why people love this book and i thought it was genius the way that this book is written

Liked

this book is honestly just a ride it's got elements of horror it has focuses on relationships between like mothers and daughters friends growing up together and kind of growing out of friendships and just so much more than what you might expect a horror book to be but i really enjoyed it for that reason and i just thought it was really good
