Caraval — Stephanie Garber

Stephanie Harber, *Caraval*: A magical game where illusion kills.
This is a fantasy quest about two sisters fleeing their tyrannical father to the legendary Master of Legends show, where spectators become participants in a dangerous performance.
Why it’s captivating:
A deadly game: Scarlett has five nights to find her kidnapped sister, Tella. If she loses, Tella will disappear forever.
Magic with a twist: Here, dresses change color based on emotions, and time is bought with secrets. But the main rule is: “Remember, it’s just a game.”
The Mysterious Legend: No one knows the face of the carnival’s master. Is he a genius puppeteer or the chief villain?
Atmosphere and Risk: The aesthetic of a nighttime circus, where every corner holds either a clue or a trap, and you can’t even trust your own heart.
This is a vivid magical thriller where the line between truth and fiction is blurred, and every step could be your last.
