It’s been two months since the Fates were freed, since Legend claimed the throne for his own, and since Tella discovered the boy she fell in love with doesn’t really exist.
With lives, empires, and hearts hanging in the balance, Tella must decide if she’s going to trust Legend or a former enemy. After uncovering a secret that upends her life, Scarlett will need to do the impossible. And Legend has a choice to make that will forever change and define him.
Caraval is over, but perhaps the greatest game of all has begun. . . .
It’s over & I want more.
Stephanie Garber is a master of descriptive writing. I was constantly blown away by how real everything was in my mind. I always had vivid pictures in my mind of how the fabric of the dresses felt, how the city of Valenda looked, & even how the character’s signature scents smelled. Reading one of her books is a fully immersive experience, & I LOVE IT.
Finale was less magical game where you can’t tell the difference between illusion & reality, & more rounding out of the character’s storylines. Every single one of the main characters grew immensely throughout this last book, but not so much that they felt finished. I think SG gave just enough closure so fans wouldn’t riot, but also purposefully left a few dangling threads so she could revisit these characters in the future. I thoroughly enjoyed the HEA ending, but I also want more of Scarlet, Tess, Julian, Legend & the Fates. I want to know what happens next. This beautiful found family was just beginning when the book ended, & I need to know how the rest of their lives play out. I can’t wait to see what happens to Jacks in OUABH, & I hope there are more books to come. The rest of the Fates are far too intriguing to just let them go.
