“Most of my life, I’ve romanticized death. I used to love the idea of something being so tremendous that it was worth dying for. But I was wrong. I think the most magnificent things are worth living for.”
I liked this more than Legendary but less than Caraval. I loved getting more Scarlett and Julian and I thought it was interesting getting to learn more about the Fates. I still didn’t really like Tella and Legend but I’m glad they ended up together and happy. Overall, I liked this world and I’m excited to get to Once Upon A Broken Heart.

Solod conclusiom, very satisfied with it! I almost expected More, somehow, especially after how amazing the first book was and how the finale feels almost anti-climactic at the end, but I think it's done really well regardless, it felt like a natural course for the story, and I think it's a satisfying end! Very curious about how the empire is going to run with Scarlett in charge when she's never seemed the type to want or thrive in leadership and wasn't ever raised or prepared to take the throne, and what exactly happens to all the Fates that just disappear (like Jacks, who does not strike me as the type to simply allow Tella and Legend to be in love after all that work he put in), but such is life I suppose! Solid end to a solid series!

it was i guess a great ending. there were parts that were boring to me and i don’t really like when there are several pov’s but this wasn’t that bad. also i would like to thank to the author for not killing any of the main characters. like seriously i was so worried jsjsks. also i liked the happy ending i really needed that. and i rly wanted jacks not to be a villain by the end of the book :(( but i guess i liked it anyways
