I was kinda nervous to read this one because Tella definitely isn't my favorite character, but I still found a lot of enjoyment in this book. She frustrated me a lot, but I'm glad I read this book and got her POV so I can understand her a bit more. Caraval is still my fav from this series but I'm hoping Finale really shocks and surprises me.

Also heyyyy Jacks, I missed you 😚

I liked the build up in this one but the ending was kind of a jumble. I'm hoping the third one is a good transition from it.

Spice Rating: 🫑 / 5 🌶️

I didn't think it could get any better than Caraval, but I'm so glad that Legendary proved me wrong.

Just a few short days after the events of book 1, Legend is hosting another Caraval in Valenda, where the empress resides. Legend has never held Caraval twice in one year, and having two Caravals within days of each other is completely unheard of. Donatella (Tella), Scarlett's sister, convinces Scarlett to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, where the winner of the game will get to meet Legend face-to-face. However, once the events get started, Tella finds herself on her own. Scarlett goes MIA, only Dante appears to care about her, and her fake fiancé might be out to get her. In order to win, Tella will have to make one of the most important choices, and possibly sacrifices, of her life.

I haven't read Once Upon a Broken Heart yet, but I'm really excited to see more of Jacks because I loved his character in this novel! I was somewhat surprised that Dante turned out to be Legend, but I feel like the hints were there if you paid attention to some of the small details in the story.

I cannot get enough of Stephanie Garber's writing! She has such poetic prose that creates such an imaginative world readers can easily picture in their heads. I'm starting Finale asap because I just have to know what happens.
