From the very first moment I heard about CARAVAL, I wanted to read it!!! It sounded whimsical, intense and absolutely wonderful, and it was all that and much, much more!!! 
 I was enjoying this one so much that anytime books came up this week, I immediately started gushing about CARAVAL! It swept me away and was constantly on my mind, so I forced myself to read it at a slower pace and I loved every single minute that I was reading it! It had me eager, anxious, giddy, sad, and a whole whirlwind of emotions! I loved Scarlet, and I really loved seeing her push her boundaries during CARAVAL...and Julian, boy did I ever love him!!! ;) 
 If you're a fantasy fan and you love magic tinged with a bit of mystery and intrigue, you'll love this one! I also think it's perfect if you loved THE NIGHT CIRCUS! :D 
 Full review to come!!
