Except I possess such bitterness and have such a grasp of the future that I wrote a character description at the 25% mark, and god did it hold up. Oh, please, stop with the standing ovation! I’m just like all of you. (insert elegant bow here) And that, my dear friends, is my Scarlett Dragna impression. If everysinglethingthathappenedinthiswholebook was anything to go by, it was through a combination of pointless lying, constant embarrassment, obsession with Some Guy, a big act of caring about a younger sister despite very little indication of that being true, unrelenting drama about a dumb wedding, repetitive interactions, weird descriptions, gender-based generalizations, and insanely personal info-dumps about emotional happenings from the past. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. Scarlett Dragna, main character of the YA hit Caraval.

And whether Caraval is real or not, Scarlett must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over or a dangerous domino effect of consequences will be set off, and her beloved sister will disappear forever. Nevertheless she becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic. Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance.

It turns out that this season’s Caraval revolves around Tella, and whoever finds her first is the winner. Only, as soon as they arrive, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval’s mastermind organizer, Legend. With the help of a mysterious sailor, Tella whisks Scarlett away to the show. 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.īut this year, Scarlett’s long-dreamt-of invitation finally arrives. Scarlett Dragna has never left the tiny island where she and her sister, Tella, live with their powerful, and cruel, father.
