Summary:
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 far-away, 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 attend. 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 whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, and her sister disappears forever.
It took seven years to get the letter right.

Scarlett and her sister, Tella, live with their cruel and controlling father. For years, Scarlett has tried to obtain an invitation to join the game at Caraval, and, finally, this year, just before she is to be married off by her father to a man she has never met, finally, Scarlett receives an invitation.
And thus begins the game. But what is illusion and what is real? What will carry over into real life after the game ends? Will Scarlett win the game? Will she get her wish?
I had fun reading this book, seeing buildings transform and change, seeing people transform and change, magic everywhere, the unexpected everywhere.
