Spoiler
when dante was revealed to be legend i was inclined to not believe it,, i didn't think it would be that obvious.Spoiler
dante is just.. well.. dante, lol. he's the typical "bad boy", tortured, devil may cry, type of love interest. well, not fully, he does seemingly care a lot about donatella. but his character is built to be cocky, overconfident, seductive, funny, flirtatious, play boy sort of dude on the surface and have tragic backstory/serious, mean side which i can name many other LI like that on the spot sooo,,Spoiler
jacks.Spoiler
1. the heir, 2. tella's friend, and 3. the prince of hearts.he was just a wonderfully, well done morally ambiguous character. he's confusing in the best way possible. does he actually have a soft side? is he actually a cruel person?

Instead of Scarlett we follow her younger sister Donatella, as she tries to win Caraval and get Legend's true name in order to free her mother. But there games upon games and secrets untold. The ending does leave me at least wanting to finish this series for closure, but I'm not sure I honestly recommend it. The pacing is uneven, and it goes from hate to love far to quick even if the characters don't admit it. There also felt like a bit of backsliding for all the characters, leaving us where we found them at the beginning of the first book.
