"It’s been two months since the Fates were freed from a deck of cards, two months since Legend claimed the throne for his own, and two months since Tella discovered the boy she fell in love with doesn’t really exist.
With lives, empires, and hearts hanging in the balance, Tella must decide if she’s going to trust Legend or a former enemy. After uncovering a secret that upends her life, Scarlett will need to do the impossible. And Legend has a choice to make that will forever change and define him.
Caraval is over, but perhaps the greatest game of all has begun. There are no spectators this time—only those who will win, and those who will lose everything.
Welcome, welcome to Finale. All games must come to an end…"
Review:
This final installment I was scared to start, I won’t lie. From being on the fence with the first book, to enjoying the second, I wasn’t sure which way this one would swing. Now that I’ve reached the end I’ve come to one clear conclusion.
Scarlett SUCKS.
Tella is what made the second book so enjoyable and she is also what made the Finale an adventure as well. Scarlett on the other hand, royally pissed me off. You expect me to believe that Donatella is the spoiled naive younger sister with no cares in the world, when she’s the ONLY one who seems to give a damn about what happening in their world????? Tella is getting. Stuff. Done! And what is Scarlett doing? Using the magical key a little girl who just got TORTURED gave her to her set around the world to have cute dates with her boyfriend. HUH??? How about answer the door when your sister is POUNDING on it cus ya know, THE WORLD IS AT STAKE????
She was so infuriating. Any time we were in her POV I was annoyed. And then when she finally starts trying to actually play a part in the end game, she is actually little to no help at all. And I think too the author even seems to not care too much about Scarlett either, because we skip over her time with the Fallen Star entirely and just quick cut to the end. Not even a training montage at least!
Overall, Tella was where it was at. She had the most interesting storyline, the most compelling love interest(s), and was honestly the heroine I wanted to see and she made every page with her sister worth it. This story had a very interesting ending and I kind of wished we could continue it with just Tella, but I digress. Another one bites the dust!
Tella has my heart, and that’s the last I’ll say of it.
As always, let me know your own thoughts and feels down below in the comments, and I’ll catch you on the next one real soon!
