Happy New Release Tuesday!
Today's spotlight is on the highly anticipated new release in YA fantasy fiction, Caraval by Stephanie Garber.
Here's a little synopsis on Caraval from Amazon:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

Ya'll - I am so excited to read this book! It has outstanding reviews and it sounds like everything I want in a great book - strong relationships, magical elements and a twisty plot. I've had the book pre-ordered for quite some time, so I'm excited to read it as soon as it lands on my doorstep - which better be later today.
