Episode 2: Caraval
Hello Book Dragons! Luna here!
My plan is finally working!!!!
I got my friends to all start reading Stephanie Garber so we can get to Once Upon a Broken Heart (one of my favorites.)
Because I totally did not start a podcast with them just to get them to read about it… *cough*
Of course, we begin with Caraval which is an excellent introduction to the Magnificent North! It’s a rollercoaster of thrills, chills, and… confetti cannons? Yes, confetti cannons! Let’s dive into the shenanigans shared by our hosts: Luna, Chelle, and Liz.
🌙Luna’s Love Fest
Luna, our resident Stephanie Garber superfan, could barely contain her excitement. She’s been on a relentless crusade to make all her friends read Caraval, so she can gush about "Once Upon a Broken Heart." Seriously, if you see Luna with a Garber book, run—or better yet, read it! Luna adored Caraval for its whimsical magic, captivating world-building, and characters that felt like old friends. Her enthusiasm is so contagious, we’re pretty sure she convinced her cat to read it.
✨Chelle’s Nostalgic Adventure
Chelle took a trip down memory lane with Caraval, reminiscing about how it was one of the first books that hooked her into the fantasy genre. She remembered the heart-pounding excitement, the edge-of-your-seat moments, and the sheer magic that Stephanie Garber brings to the table. For Chelle, "Caraval" was like finding her first love all over again—only this time, it’s a love affair with magical islands and mysterious games.
🌠Liz’s Suspense Saga
Then we have Liz, who approached Caraval with the caution of someone checking for monsters under the bed. It took a while for her to get into it, but once she did, she was all in. Having only read the first book she brought a unique take to the discussion. She shared that by the end, she was gasping, clutching her pearls, and demanding more. The suspense and twists left her on the edge of her seat, and she’s now on a mission to get answers. While Chelle and Luna made it their mission to torture Liz over what happens next in the story, we are sure she will enjoy every moment of it.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, "Caraval" by Stephanie Garber is a dazzling, heart-stopping adventure that left our hosts buzzing with excitement. Whether you’re a die-hard fan like Luna, a fantasy fanatic like Chelle, or a suspense seeker like Liz, "Caraval" has a little something for everyone.
So, if you haven’t jumped on the Caraval bandwagon yet, what are you waiting for? Grab a copy, join the magical mayhem, and then come back and tell us all about it. We love hearing from fellow book enthusiasts!
