Spectacular: A Caraval Holiday Novella (Caraval, 4)

Adorable, fun story to go with Caraval. Really enjoyed it. Really fast paced.

I adore Garber’s writings. It’s so whimsical! The illustrations were gorgeous and I spent so much time enjoying them as I went along. The reveal at the end was obvious to the reader, but it felt like Tella “knowing all along” wasn’t earned. Also, not enjoy Scarlett and Julian: they need their own book next! But the book overall was filled with beautiful descriptions and Legend Magic.

This book read like something for a middle school aged reader, Tella with her obsession of kisses from Legend.Reading this made me remember why I don't care for Tella especially after the stunt she pulled in Legendary. She was more juvenile than I remember her to be and horribly naive.Interesting read but the whole scene in the room with the kidnapper was disturbing to say the least.Guess if another story is to be done, let it be with the more stable couple, Scarlett and Julian.

Very cute continuation of Caraval & I loved the illustrations. I am kinda surprised that none of them are at least engaged yet or married considering what happened in the Finale book.

This should have came with warning signs. I was not okay with some of the scenes even though they make sense in the end of the book. I wish there was more hints at the beginning of the book. The whole thing was kinda creepy but I guess that’s normal for his character. Also, one thing I felt this book was missing was plot twists. I feel like all of her books have such great plot twist and this just seemed a little to much focused on like idk.. how to explain it. It was alright but I waited so long to read this book for it just be over so quick and just not the plot I wanted and also. The whole Christmas thing was just a bummer. Legend is like king of all magicalness and I feel like the plot could have been better and we need another book.

I am a huge fan of Stephanie Garber, and have read both her trilogies without being able to hardly put any of the books down. I was excited for this Caraval novella to arrive, but was a little disappointed. This felt more like it was geared towards middle-school children with the large font and, although beautiful, juvenile illustrations throughout the book. I was able to finish it within an hour. I am still happy I ordered it so I can add it to my Caraval collection, but I expected a little more.

Easy read but very disappointing compared to the author's Caravel series. The story line of this book was weak and character development was poor. There was no suspense and no surprises. Was not worth the 30 minutes it took to read it.

I am such a sucker for this whole series! This is one of the cutest books to end the Caravel series. Sad it’s came to an end.
