“Legend likes to be the villain.”
“How could I forget? That was always my favorite part.”
5 ⭐️
I forgot how much I adored this book. I think I really loved my reread of Caraval for the magic and the nostalgia, but I loved Legendary for its plot. And I’d forgotten so much! What a treat it was to reread, and meeting Jacks again for the first time was a delight.

I thought it was okay. It was pretty slow and I did put it down for a bit which is fine I think. I am giving this series a try and right now it is not wowing me but whatever lol. I really want to read the next series after this one so we shall see.

the only reason i put the characters down as complicated when asking if they are loveable, is because i find them loveable, but i probably shouldn’t. this book was so so so good and i’m obsessed
one thing that annoyed me was scarlett. i feel like she completely contradicted her character in the first book. she made me really mad at times.
i found the ending a little predictable. since the first book i suspected dante was legend. there were some aspects that i didn’t expect. i did NOT expect dante to save her and then just leave like nothing happened with them. that broke my heart.

“Every good story needs a villain. But the best villains are the ones you secretly like.”
I am so surprised that I didn’t like this. It was going fine for most of the book, but the ending pushed it over the edge for me. I liked Tella enough to keep reading but I didn’t really care that much about her. I didn’t really like reading in her POV cause it was just an endless internal dialogue of her reiterating the stakes and the choices she had to make over and over as if I don’t already know what the stakes are. Her romance with Dante was slightly boring to me probably because I feel like he just kept popping up randomly to say a few things to her and leave. Dante being Legend just felt really forced and not surprising at all considering how many times Tella mentioned the possibility. The drama between Scarlett and Julian was annoying especially at the end. I literally just want them to be happy and together. The main thing I liked about this was Jacks of course but even the way things ended with his character in this book didn’t feel right to me (yes I know I’ll probably get more answers in Finale or OUABH). Tella being his one true love makes absolutely no sense to me, like I’m not sure if we’re trying for a love triangle here but I don’t want it. Overall, I was enjoying getting to explore a new part of this world and meet new characters (more like A new character) but the ending just left me disappointed.

I do love the world and magic of this series! Legendary is filled with lots of fun twists and turns as well as betrayal and reveals. While I did see some of the reveals coming, watching them unravel was still very fun! (Also loved seeing Jacks again he's so special to me)
