Story
For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings…until she learns that the love of her life will marry another. Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing. But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game—and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya—the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites. The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that—ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.

Not her best
- By Geof Heselton on 2023-10-13
Written by: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Publisher's Summary
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.
What the critics say
"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)

Enjoyed the story, but the narrator was meh
The narrator pulled me out of the story more times than I care to admit. Her over the top accents were cringe, and the way she read like the listener is a child and she is their babysitter reading a bed time tale was even moreso. I would have likely enjoyed it if I were 11-13, but as it was I couldn't wait to be done with it and move on to something else.

Good fantasy audiobook
I enjoyed the characters but sometimes I feel as I zoned out and found myself having to go back a bit to retain it. It didn’t hold me completely engaged at times. The story was good and took many twists and turns.

Lots of twists, romance and drama
I honestly had such a hard time getting through this book. It stressed me out also the main character was so naive I really question some of her decisions too. Not too predictable but somewhat cliche. Mostly likeable characters the romance wasn’t my favourite but it was good if that’s what your looking for. I think most people would like this book, though it was written a little too whimsical especially paired with the narrators voice for me..
I might still read the second book just because I’m weak to curiosity.

Cliché and bizarre
Opened this one up because I was interested in a simple listen, and because I’m helpless to the tease of a good romance plot line in a fantasy/action packed book.
What was delivered was a strange mix of carnival magic (good most of the time) and very painful, cliché coming of age plot happenings that lacked originality and wanted for more feminist-oriented views.
There were definitely times where the story was good, however I felt the storyline generally strayed from what the reality would have been with characters faced with trauma, which mostly means the ending was just so bizarre.
The ideas were interesting, and there was a lot of potential, but I felt things fell a little flat.

Original and deliciously magical
Caraval is a traveling troupe of actors led by the enigmatic magician Legend who put on the greatest performance ever to be experienced; a magical game where guests must follow clues to win the ultimate prize: One wish! Such an intriguing story with so many twists and turns within a magical game where you never can be certain what's real and what's part of the game. I really liked this audiobook, although the main character Scarlett was frustrating at times. The second novel where Tella is the protagonist is fantastic.

I really liked it!
I loved this book. I like magician/circus with a dark side to it aesthetics and this book satisfied that. I love the mystery and the secrets and I he world building was amazing. I also do really like the sisterly bond that was shown and how driven the MC was to protect her sister, it was nice
