☆☆☆★★

Scarlett and Donatella Dragna have lived with an incredibly abusive father ever since their mother had died. Scarlett, enchanted by all the stories her grandmother told her about the mysterious Caraval (a five-day spectacle of magic and games), wrote every year to the owner of Caraval for tickets. Finally, the one year she doesn't want them, she gets them. She loses her sister in the process, and has to do her best to win the game and find her.

The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen



Rating: 3.35/5 stars
☆☆★★★

An untested young princess must claim her throne, learn to become a queen, and combat a malevolent sorceress in an epic battle between light and darkness. This was the goodreads info. I couldn't find a better way to say it.

Gilded Cage by Vic James



I received a free e-book copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for this opportunity!

Rating: 4.5/5 stars
★★★★★

Gilded Cage by Vic James is a dystopian fantasy book in Britain about Equals (upper class people with powers) and commoners without powers. These commoners aren’t even considered citizens until they go through a decade of “slavedays” where they are literally just slaves. They can choose to start their slavedays whenever they want in life, though.
