Caraval by Stephanie Garber (2017)

When two sisters are invited to the mysterious, magical game called Caraval, nothing is what it seems — and everything has a price. Garber’s writing feels like confetti and candlelight, dazzling and deceptive. It’s part mystery, part fantasy, and part fever dream, blending love and illusion until you can’t tell which is which.
