I liked 'legendary' better than its predecessor 'Caraval' I found Tella to be a much better perspective to read from than Scarlett had been, and honestly the pacing of this book was overall better. I will admit the reveal of legends identity was not as shocking as I feel like it was built up to be but other than that I am overall glad that I chose to continue reading this series.

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

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!

I enjoy the author's use of descriptive language as world-building, and she does a good job of continually raising the stakes. I did have trouble suspending my disbelief when characters seemed to fall in love without a clear buildup of feelings or connection. Especially Jax. I started reading this series after reading Once Upon a Broken Heart (which is fantastic, BTW) to learn how Jax's Heart backstory. Now that I know it, it's disappointing and seems more meaningless than so much of what happens in Once Upon a Broken Heart. Maybe the third book pulls it all together. We'll see.
