how is everyone in this book hot. everyone.
DANTE— marry me. please.
*clears throat*
so, anyways. i don’t have much to say. i enjoyed tellas perspective, it made me come to understand and enjoy her character a lot more. just as with caraval, i was confused throughout— well, the whole book really. to the point i’m at right now.
i had some theories. they were all wrong.
what i also had were CHILLS. because DANTE (i know i’m repeating myself but hang on). that man is absolutely heavenly, scraping-my-eyes-out, BAWLING, jaw-drop, screaming crying throwing up, dead-drop gorgeous. quote tella. well, not literally. but almost.like, what do you mean „gold shimmered no matter what, but few people could make darkness glitter the way he did“???!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN TELLA??!
i was baffled. i don’t think i will recover. 10/10, recommend.

I know I'm in the minority here but book 2 was not as good as book 1 for me.

GLORIOUS I TELL YOU🥲😭💞
i will never forget this reread, it meant so much to me :( miss garber KNOWS how to write a story that will draw you in and break your heart and stitch it back up all within five hundred pages😭
i often relate books to the periods that i originally read them in the first time and this one is connected to memories that are sort of the same vibe of the story - sad, but better by the end.
in legendary we follow our baby donatella dragna, the sister of our main character from caraval. at the end of the first novel it's revealed that miss tella got herself into a bit more than she thought when trying to save scarlett from marrying the count that she didn't even know and herself from the hands of their wicked father. following these events from the last book, we see the mess that she truly landed in and that the new caraval game headed to the capital is different than the past versions - this one is real. we were constantly reminded in the first book that it was all just a game and to not be swept top far away, but in this one it's said from the very start that everything that takes place will be as real as real can get. the fates are back and are read to be free once more but legend craves power. tella is going to dangerous lengths to find her missing mother, paloma (...if that's even her real name🤫) and she is faced with difficult choices👀
can i please take a moment to talk about how much i fell in love with dante???????????????? YES HE MIGHT LOWKEY BE PART VILLAIN BUT????? LIKE I WAS ON THE GROUN FOR SOM OF THE SCENES LIKE SIR?? no, i am NOT okay. i obviously remembered that he was legend but i didn't remember most of the res tof the book if i'm honest and it was just so !!!!!!!

Rating: 4/5 stars
The sequel to Caraval, Legendary picks up the day after the events of the first book and continues the story of the Dragna sisters in the capital city of Valencia.
💭 I enjoyed Caraval, but loved this one even more! The introduction of the character of Jacks was great (and I’m so excited to read the spin-off series and learn more about him) and I absolutely loved Dante in this book. I also felt like Tella made a great FMC and was a more interesting primary protagonist than her sister, which kept me a bit more engaged. Finally, I enjoyed the game more in this one and felt like the plot unfolded in a way that was interesting, but a little less mind-melting than book one.
Overall, I’m really enjoying this trilogy and excited to read Finale soon!
