Invitations are arriving. And holiday magic is swirling in the capital city of the Meridian Empire. It’s Great Holiday Eve Eve. Scarlett Dragna is planning a spectacular Holiday celebration for the city. Donatella is searching for the perfect gift. Julian is looking ridiculously handsome in green. And Legend . . . Well, sadly Legend is not fond of the Great Holiday. Tella is hoping her perfect gift will change his mind. Unfortunately, she hasn’t found this perfect gift just yet. But it is Great Holiday Eve Eve . . . surely there’s some holiday magic swirling around. Welcome, welcome back to the world of Caraval, where even holidays are not as they seem. Set after Stephanie Garber's #1 New York Times bestselling Caraval series, this delightful novella will take readers on the ultimate holiday adventure full of clockwork boys, poisoned candy, impish snow globes, merriment, and—if Tella gets her way—love. Gorgeously illustrated by Rosie Thorns, Spectacular is the perfect edition for collectors, readers, dreamers, and lovers of holiday magic.

This was a very lighthearted and quick read, letting us spend a little more time with Scarlett and Tella. Although it’s very Tella-centric. I thought it was adorable although I would recommend that Tella unread that little book she read (and make sure no one else reads it)! There was some awful advice in there.
The holiday setting kept it magical but didn’t really play a big role in the story. The illustrations were fantastic and set the mood well!
