Caraval

De: Stephanie Garber

Narrado por: Rebecca Soler

This program includes a bonus interview with the author.

Welcome, welcome to Caraval - Stephanie Garber's sweeping tale of two sisters who escape their ruthless father when they enter the dangerous intrigue of a legendary game.

Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their powerful - and cruel - father. Now Scarlett's father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the faraway once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over.

But this year Scarlett's long-dreamt-of invitation finally arrives. With the help of a mysterious sailor, Tella whisks Scarlett away to the show. Only as soon as they arrive, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval's mastermind organizer, Legend. It turns out that this season's Caraval revolves around Tella, and whoever finds her first is the winner.

Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But she nevertheless becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic with the other players in the game. And whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, a dangerous domino effect of consequences is set off, and her sister disappears forever.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Actor Soler's lively narration swiftly draws listeners into the magical spectacle at the center of Garber's YA novel." (Publishers Weekly, best audiobooks of 2017)

Pleasantly surprised!!

I was captured from the first word to the very last one!!
I felt as if I were following along side with Scarlett (Crimson) throughout the entire game. I usually listen to physiological Thrillers and this fit that category in a very unique way because it was a fantasy/magical. So in my opinion this book is in a category of it's own Physiological Thriller/Fantasy. lol

A must listen for 2017

Wonderful world building! This will take you to a place filled with secrets and magic! What an amazing story and the narrating is fantastic! Can't wait for book 2!!!

It's okay.

I'm a fan of strong female leads and I don't think the is the book for me... The main character in this kind of learns to get a backbone, but boy does it take her a while to get there. This is supposed to be the experience of a lifetime, and she's so wrapped up in fear she doesn't really experience it. I had to convince myself to finish the book. Hoping it'd get better. But I seriously wanted to shake the crap out of this girl and say grow a pair! Definitely not worth the $$ I spent on this one. But, at least I can say there, I've listened to it. The world and premise had potential, but I seriously hated the main character and can't seem to shake my dislike of her to like the book.

Great read!

I very much enjoyed listening to this. The interview at the end was pretty cool.

Not as captivated as I wanted to be

Some creative ideas, decent enough writing, but I just couldn't quite get caught up in the world or the characters.

Love It

I fell in love with this book of mystery, deceit, and romance. I couldn't help but sympathize with Scarlet as she goes through a series of emotional roller coasters throughout this novel. The end could not come fast enough. I had to make sure it ended how I wanted it to otherwise I was afraid I would be extremely upset with the characters. I would definitely be recommending this book to others.

Definitely YA

I liked this book a lot. It reminded me a little bit (just a little!) of the Night Circus. There was way too much dialog and angst though, it is YA so that should be expected. Night Circus was often times a lot more about the setting than what was happening with the characters. This was very character driven, but I liked it. I could've done without the epilogue set up, book two could've told us that in its summary without leaving such a cliff hanger.

loved <3

I truly hope there is more to this story... it was amazing. a solid mix of night circus and hunger games.

Enchanting and Enticing

I was blown away by the perspective and character/world development of this book, giving the feel of the book a truly magical feel while reading. The love between the sisters can be so deeply felt in the entire story. Absolutely beautiful and a joy to listen to. Definitely gunna buy the book for my personal library.

Fun, whimsical, magical and exciting

Fun, whimsical, magical and exciting. I loved reading the physical CARAVAL book and I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook as well. Thank you Stephanie Garber, I look forward to LEGENDARY and FINALE! 💜🖤🎩🎪🥀💜🖤
