Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11
Being a defective marks me in the eyes of the Solis Fae. Wingless. Magicless. Weak. To my kind, I’m nothing—not when strength is needed to survive the perpetual snow and ice that shrouds our northern continent in endless winter. But I’ve persevered, living a meaningful yet simple life with my sister...until the hated Crown Prince of the Winter Court thunders into our village. Prince Norivun’s massive black wings and potent magic cloud my senses and steal my breath. He’s beautiful yet brutal, so when he whisks me away and locks me in his castle I’m certain my death is tomorrow’s promise.

Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

Publisher's Summary
Welcome to Caraval, where nothing is quite what it seems.
Scarlett has never left the tiny isle of Trisda, pining from afar for the wonder of Caraval, a once-a-year weeklong performance where the audience participates in the show.
Caraval is magic. Mystery. Adventure. And for Scarlett and her beloved sister, Tella, it represents freedom and an escape from their ruthless, abusive father. When the sisters' long-awaited invitations to Caraval finally arrive, it seems their dreams have come true. But no sooner have they arrived than Tella vanishes, kidnapped by the show's mastermind organiser, Legend.
Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. Nonetheless, she quickly becomes enmeshed in a dangerous game of love, magic and heartbreak. And whether it's real or not, she must find Tella before the game is over and her sister disappears forever.

Unexpected
Cons- The chemistry between the main characters didn't feel strong. I'm just not that invested from what was in this book. If you are mainly looking for a fantasy series with the main focus being romance, I wouldn't suggest this for you. It was not what kept me reading.
- It was a slow lead up before things really got interesting. I think if I hadn't read to about chapter 20, I wouldn't have cared too much about finishing it. Although the persistence DID pay off
- This isn't a rinse and repeat kind of book for me. What kept me reading was mostly the mystery behind it. I didn't enjoy the characters that much, although there was some whit from Julien.
Pros- I found the main characters' development progressive. I won't say she was my favourite protagonist. At least you see her character evolve, unlike many main female characters who have little personal growth.
- the storyline was very unique to me, which I loved
- the descriptions and the world created were immersive. The words came to life, and I was sucked in.
- it was a blend of fantasy, mystery, romance, and action. There were so many moving parts to the story.
- MAJOR plot twists. I usually figure things out pretty easy with stories, but there were some surprises for me that kept me on my toes.
I recommend this book and will definitely be reading the next book of the series.

A dash of magic
It was an enjoyable listen, treading the line between reality and fantasy very well.
The performance wasn't bad, the only part that bothered me was her very airy screams which sent shivers down my back.

Enjoyable Read
I enjoyed the plot, characters and the setting. Caraval was intriguing and enjoyable - it's good to see the development of a few lead female characters. Can't wait for the next!

magic mixed with "who done it"
engaging story of who done it mixed with the fun of magic. a love story and a story of what its like being the older sister.
this edition of the audio book feels like it may have been abridged at one point with snippets recorded later and added back in as the tempo and clarity of the reading are distorted, however rebecca solare is one of my favorite narrators, so i still enjoyed it.

Incredible Debut!
From the voice acting to the story this is a solid 5 stars! One of those audibooks where the acting is so fantastic you wonder whether you'd have enjoyed it as much if you only read it. The story was equally exciting - the world was magical and colourful and full of twists and turns up to the very last page. A very enjoyable ride.

a little slow
not really my cup of tea and I'm not sure what all the hype is really about. In saying that fairytales aren't my thing normally so no doubt that plays a part.

A roller coaster of mind games
This story was a mental roller coaster for both the reader and the main character of the story. It was fast paced and full of twists and turns. It’s best to go into this story blind. There’s mystery, adventure, romance and beautiful imagery.
Caraval its self as a concept gave me Pleasure Island from Pinocchio vibes and I was always waiting for something mad or twisted to happen.
Biggest con- hated the foreign accent used for Julian. Made it had to connect with the character and take him seriously.
I am looking forward to reading the next book ‘Legendary’ in hopes it answers all my unresolved questions and theories of the story. If book two is successful I’ll bump my overall rating up to a 4!
