Hmm I might wait for that one to be out then, before I read this one. And you’re welcome ^^

Sometimes purple prose, if done well, works really nicely. But when used too much, it just turns into a book that drags, and nobody wants that.

Thank you Sophie! Yeah I heard all of it too before going in but decided to read it anyways. It wasn’t a bad book, just lacking some. I hear there is supposed to be another book so maybe it’ll be better.

Lack of development issues are such a bummer… So much potential, wasted. I’ve been hearing that complaint a lot when it comes to this book and that’s part of the reason I haven’t reached out for it yet, I think. Too many mixed feelings!
Loved reading your review, Meghan 😊

I completely agree! I expected better from this book. The purple prose killed me. Since I’m not a visual reader, all the imagery turned me off the book instead of getting me more interested. I kept putting off reading it until it was due back to the library.

Thank you, and it’s sad because this book could have been so much more.

after seeing so many reviews by readers who disliked Caraval, I for one am glad I was rejected for it by Netgalley. Awesome review by the way. Short and concise 😀
