Scarlett Dragna, and being the best character on Caraval.

Scarlett Dragna will always have my heart. She’s such an amazing character and she deserves so much better from everyone especially Tella. I’m so glad she has Juillian with her.

I’m so glad she found someone who loves her with his whole everything. Like this girl loves so freely and so beautifully and had never ever felt the same love reciprocated- not even from Tella, until she met Juillian. I’m not saying Tella didn’t love her. They both love each other so much, but Tella doesn’t love Scar as much as Scar loves Tella. Scarlett even acknowledges this.

She’s such an eldest sister. Her sacrifices. Her silent pain. Her unconditional and endless love for Tella even tho she knew Tella would never pick her over everyone like Scar would pick Tella. The way she forgave her birth father, the way she tried to find excuses for her mother in the end…

This girl deserves happiness and love and all that is good in life.

✩🎁❄️Review:

If you are hoping for a fluffy, festive romance, this is not it. 

Set after the Caraval series, “Spectacular” follows Donatella Dragna as she embarks on the ultimate holiday adventure to find the perfect gift for Legend. 

I LOVED the first half of this book. It was a joy to return to Valenda and spend more time with Scarlett, Tella, Julian, and Legend. Rosie Fowinkle’s gorgeous illustrations truly bring them to life! The red accents Fowinkle added to her images paired with Garber’s whimsical writing definitely got me into the holiday spirit. 

Unfortunately, this book took a turn for the worst near the halfway point that left me feeling uncomfortable. Simply put, this book fails to take consent into consideration. 

🚨‼️SPOILER ALERT‼️🚨

To go into more detail, Tella is drugged and kidnapped at one point in the story. She wakes up in the Spice Quarter—a place riddled with gambling pits, drug dens, and brothels. Soon after, she is forced to change into an outfit that leaves her scantily clad so that she can show off her backside to a man whose identity is not known. She is then taken to his private room where she is blindfolded, gagged, and restrained. Once there, the man touches and kisses her without her consent. The reader ultimately finds out that the mystery man is Legend, but honestly, that did not make the whole series of events better in my eyes. Had she known it was him all along, what transpired would still be considered assault given that she did not consent to any of it. Readers fresh off of Finale might be able to connect what happened here to the letter Tella wrote in which she asked Legend to kidnap her. Why Legend thought this would be such a great holiday gift is lost on me. As someone who hasn’t read Finale in years, I did not make the connection. Neither did Tella, which is what made the whole thing icky. 

🚨‼️END OF SPOILERS‼️🚨

I was hoping for more ScarJulian content at the very least, but their presence is more akin to a cameo. I hope that the next one (which is alluded to in the epilogue) does not follow in its predecessor’s footsteps.
