Caraval Book 3.5

Welcome, welcome back to the mysteriously enchanting world of CARAVAL! Return to the legendary magic and the whimsical wonder with this beautifully illustrated holiday novella.

Snowflakes are falling.

Invitations are arriving.

And holiday magic is swirling in the capital city of the Meridian Empire.

It’s Great Holiday Eve Eve. Scarlett Dragna is planning a spectacular Holiday celebration for the city. Donatella is searching for the perfect gift. Julian is looking ridiculously handsome in green. And Legend . . .

Well, sadly Legend is not fond of the Great Holiday. Tella is hoping her perfect gift will change his mind. Unfortunately, she hasn’t found this perfect gift just yet. But it is Great Holiday Eve Eve . . . surely there’s some holiday magic swirling around.

Welcome, welcome back to the world of Caraval, where even holidays are not as they seem.

Set after Stephanie Garber's #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling Caraval series, this delightful novella will take readers on the ultimate holiday adventure full of clockwork boys, poisoned candy, impish snow globes, merriment, and―if Tella gets her way―love.

Gorgeously illustrated by Rosie Thorns, SPECTACULAR is the perfect edition for collectors, readers, dreamers, and lovers of holiday magic.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

The world of Caraval is a favorite of mine. You just never know what is going to happen in this world and the magic that goes with it. In this holiday novella, we follow Tella as she searches for the perfect gift for Legend. A little worried about their relationship and Legend’s lack of holiday spirit, she hopes she can find the perfect present to show how much she loves him. But with Tella, trouble always seems to find her first. This was a fun story filled with beautiful illustrations. Perfect for the holidays and for those who have been missing Scarlett, Julian, Tella, and Legend. There is always magic and a little mystery when it comes to these four and this novella didn’t disappoint!
