I like Tella as a character more than Scarlett, but I feel like the magic of Caraval was not as prominent in this story. It doesn’t have second book syndrome though! In fact, I feel like this book ramps up the stakes for the last book! It still has a sinister magic vibe to it, and I really like the introduction of Jacks as a character and where the story goes. I think I like this one more than the first book.

This book took me so long to get through! I was very disappointed at first by the POV change, which I think made me want to read it less at the beginning. But, as I learned more about Tella, Dante, and Jacks, I fell in love with Legendary just as much as Caraval.
The beginning was slow, but the ending was great! I totally guessed the plot twist, but that almost made it better. I definitely recommend playing a little game while reading this book and try to figure out who Elantine’s Heir is…maybe you’ll win!
