i always make some weird outlandish predicition in the beginning of books that come hiw more often than not turn out somewgat right.  normally theyre kinda fun and something i want to happen. The prediction i made at the beginning for this book, however ?? i didnt want that to happen for the life of me, i knew  i would be mad about it. But alas, i was fucking right, and i was also right about being fucking mad about it. this should not have gone the way it had, there was a great set up for something different however it didnt do that and i am pissed about it. the endings of these books are 2 for 2 with disappointing me and making me mad with the endings. which coincidentally sets up the next book to also piss me off, i am not looking forward to it.

i really disliked the fact that this book’s setting wasn’t the same as the previous one, i really wish it had been more “magical” like i expected it would. the new element of the Fates and the new characters were great tho, it would’ve been better if the book focused more on that rather than the horrible romance between Tella and Dante, i hope he fucking dies or something.

5.0

I typically love second books in trilogies, and this book is no exception. I love the mystery surrounding Caraval Master Legend's true identity, and the lengths that Tella will go to in order to retrieve it. Garber once again sucks you into the world of Caraval, where you are forced to question everything as you try to remember it's only a game. 

In addition to trying to unmask Legend, Tella is forced to confront some of the trauma that comes with her and Scarlett's mother leaving them when they were little. Along the way, she uncovers more truth than she bargained for, and has to decide how to move forward with this new information. 

Overall, I love the way that Garber expands the world of Caraval and digs deeper into many of the characters' backstories. Legendary is full of twists and turns and surprises, which make for quite the page turner. I recommend this book without reservation.
