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! 🥰

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 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 😊

I didn't read the the series before Dance of Thieves and Vow of Thieves (haven't read them still), and that's honestly probably why I hated them... so maybe consider it. I thought the world-building in the duology was really really bad, as well as the back stories for the characters were pretty lackluster. maybe they talk about it more in the series? idk I actually didn't know there was a series before I read the duology, and I was SO confused while reading DOT on why there was a huge map in the front but the characters were only in like 20% of it during the plot. Dance of Thieves was ok..... but Vow of Thieves put me in the worst reading slump of my life. so honestly I recommend reading the series first despite me not even reading it lol

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.
