    I feel like no one wants to read the Caraval series and it makes me sad🤣 Like Caraval the book is defo not the best in the series but Legendary and Finale are fantastic and you gain such a better understanding of Jacks as a character which I think enhances the reading experience of Once Upon a Broken Heart so much more! Donatella is such a babe and it makes me sad that so many people aren’t getting the chance to know her :/

    I know you loved Evelyn Hugo and City of Girls, so if you’re looking for something similar I highly recommend The Show Girl by Nicola Harrison! It’s very glamorous and set in a similar time period. The main character is a talented dancer/singer and she does shows on stage. It’s super fun and there’s a love story involved. I think you would really like it! 🥰

      @@carolenie if I'm being honest... it's rare I like books because I'm a critical reader and everything is so weird to me. But for some reason I absolutely fell in love with Caraval. But if you didn't like the first book you probably won't like the rest. But it is from the POV of the sister
      But I believe you could like once upon a broken heart more, it's different and doesn't really have anything to do with caraval. That's my opinion! 😊😊💞

    I read dance of thieves dueology first, and then read the remnant chronicles after and totally wish I would have read TRC first! DoT takes place like 7-8 years after the events in TRC and some of the characters in TRC are in DoT and so if you like character focus books, it might hit a little harder in the feels. And it helps understand more so the light magic that is in it ☺️ hope that helps!

    I would read The Remnant Chronicles first. I think you’ll enjoy Dance of Thieves and Vow of Thieves so much more if you do. Characters and places are referenced in the duology. It’ll make some of the scenes and people you meet so more joyful and exciting. I’m trying not to spoil anything, but it’ll make it so much better if you do. I was so happy when I got to parts in the duology because I knew places and characters from the OG trilogy.

    @addypark8497 Год назад +1

    as much as i loved loved the remnant chronicles, i know some people didn’t as much. the first book is interesting in that you don’t know which male character pov is who because it’s a bit of a love triangle where u genuinely don’t know which she’ll choose. but i’d say read dance of thieves duology first and if u love the world and the writing then to jump into the triology after because there’s so many connections you’ll realize after, but it’s not necessary! either way i hope you fall in love with dance of thieves :))

  • @kissedintoruins
    @kissedintoruins Год назад +1

    I have just finished the Caraval series and really loved it so I personally think it’s worth it to read it first. I’m about to jump into Once Upon a Broken Heart so I don’t know how much you NEED to read Caraval before but what I can say is that Jacks - who, I believe, is one of the main characters in OUABH - is introduced in Legendary and is also in Finale (from the Caraval series). I personally love having that backstory going in to the next series so maybe you do too.
    Also, I read the Remnant Chronicles before Dance of Thieves and, although I preferred DOC and I do think you can read it without reading the previous series, I think I might’ve been a bit lost in the world building and some characters’ backstories if I would’ve started with DOC. Hopefully that helps 😊

    So I personally think you *should* read Remnant Chronicles first.
    I was one of the ones who didn't know about the trilogy beforehand and when I read DOT everything about the world was going over my head because they talk about previous events that happened that I didn't know of (the only thing that kept me reading despite confusion was the romance, so if that's what you crave from the book then go for it 🙈🙈).
    Months later I found out about the trilogy, and when I went to reread DOT (bc I bought VOT) everything made sense, I knew some of the characters and why they are where they are and my experience was better. Also, there is spoilers about the events of the trilogy and some of characters show up
    So, this is my experience 🙈🙈 I personally loved the trilogy so I do recommend it, though perhaps you could just read the prequel *Morrighan* to know how the world & all the kingdoms came to be
