Buon pomeriggio! Il giovedì è sempre un giorno strano, quasi alle porte del weekend, ma con il venerdì che incombe come un macigno pieno di impegni lavorativi, ma come sempre mi piace illuminare le vostre giornate con spunti per nuove letture e oggi vi propongo Caraval, fantasy molto chiacchierato dai risvolti magici e inimagginabili di Stephanie Garber. Affascinante e unico nel suo genere, è un libro che mi ha stregata, e che probabilmente arriverà presto anche qui da noi...per chi non lo conoscesse, ecco qualche informazione nella scheda libro, seguita a ruota dalla mia personale opinione! ;)

TRAMA Whatever you've heard about Caraval, it doesn't compare to the reality. It's more than just a game or a performance. It's the closest you'll ever find to magic in this world...
Welcome, welcome to Caraval―Stephanie Garber’s sweeping tale of two sisters who escape their ruthless father when they enter the dangerous intrigue of a legendary game.
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 the show. 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 she nevertheless becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic with the other players in the game. And whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, a dangerous domino effect of consequences is set off, and her sister disappears forever.

Caraval è un libro che mi ha subito attratta, con quell'aura di magia e mistero a cui proprio non so resistere. Un'accattivante storia vestita di nero e oro dal fascino irresistibile. Tuttavia non tutto quello ciò che brilla è oro per davvero.
