AudioFile on The Ballad of Never After

Welcome, welcome back to the enchanting world of
Caraval! Return to the legendary magic and the whimsical wonder with this holiday novella.

Snowflakes are falling.
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.

Spectacular is perfect for collectors, listeners, dreamers, and lovers of holiday magic.

Short ad sweet

I needed more. Such a short book and everything seemed rushed. I hope there is more to follow.

I’ve missed them..

I’m a spooky vibes fall girl, but oh how I love the magic of this world! I’ve missed these characters so much. This did not disappoint, but it did make me want more.

Good book! Just left me wanting more 😂

It was a good little story with lots of wonderful descriptions and details. It made a very nice Christmas sort of book and I loved all the little sound effects and songs that came with it! I am sad that it was so short and I hope there will be longer ones in the future. I just want to hear more about Julian and Scarlet instead of Legend and Donna Tella😭. It felt like this book was just a reenactment of their (Tella and Legend’s) relationship in the third book. I was hoping for something with a little more adventure! And a book that really included Scarlet and Julian. They are my favorite characters and they feel like the original Caraval couple. I also would love a book that really filled out Caraval’s story line from the beginning and I hope they’ll be a new Caraval book soon! As always I love this series and I hope it never stops!! 🩷💜

Not a cozy holiday read

It didn’t feel like a holiday novella, it felt like a kidnapping and borderline SA plot. This could have been an opportunity to see all of our favorite characters again, but instead it got real weird real fast. Tella and Legend felt extremely dysfunctional, and it detracted from their love story in the main series. Overall it gave me the ick.

TW: A Bit Rapey

I was expecting a fun holiday story, but what I heard instead was on-the-page sexual assault, I think this was a swing and a miss.
