GLORIOUS I TELL YOU🥲ðŸ˜ðŸ’ž
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 pagesðŸ˜
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👀
