Finale wasn’t exactly what I thought it would be, but I had a good time reading it nonetheless.

This book was a mixed bag for me. There were some aspects of it that worked really well for me, and some that I could have done without. There was one particular subplot that was dropped as quickly as it was started, and there were some characters that could have been entirely excluded and I would t have noticed.

The magic in this book felt more fleshed out than the previous two, which I definitely appreciated. However, I don’t actually understand how magic works in this world. How do people get magic? Where did it come from? How does it work? I don’t think these questions could be answered at the moment.

This series was fun, and I can see why it’s so popular, but it wasn’t quite there for me. Finale in particular was not quite what I wanted it to be. 3.5 stars.

Loved it 💜

I loved the entire trilogy. The story development in Finale closed some doubts I had, although it left me with some other ones 😅. Like Caraval it's a light and quick read, which doesn't stop the description from transporting you to the place as you read. I loved the ending as it is left open to the imagination.

I feel like I need more of Legend and Tella's story 🙉.

I think that this book was the most entertaining book of the whole series! I think that the writing was much better than the last two books and was just much more detailed and descriptive. All throughout the book I was captured by the magic and wonders of the world, I’m sad that I finished the series, but am so glad I could follow along with this dangerously magical adventure.
Couldn’t keep my mouth from dropping to the floor when I found out Scarlet’s father was the Fallen Star. Amazing plot twist and scene! 👏👏👏

This book was such a fun read for me. I cannot wait to read "Once Upon A Broken Heart" and follow Jacks story even more. To me, he is the highlight of the book, and I hate that we don't get enough Jacks content. 
This book ended fine. Nothing happened quite like I would have wanted it to, but I still enjoyed the ending overall. The ending left me feeling pretty satisfied, even with Tella's choice. I wasn't sure I was going to like Legend as much as I did Jacks, but by the end I liked Legend enough to be okay with that being her final decision. Honestly, it does make more sense. She loved him for much longer, and they did have clear chemistry. 
I wish there had been a bit more Scarlett and Julian scenes. I love them together, and I would feel more complete if they had a few more scenes sprinkled in.


Overall, this is a very good book and a very good series. I do recommend, and I think I will love Jacks' spinoff even more.

I enjoyed this book but not as much as the first one. The sisters are still as careless and naive as they were in book one and that seems ridiculous given everything they’ve been through. Their plans for beating the bad guys just seemed silly and  super unrealistic. It was a fun read but I’m glad to be done with the world now.

The epic conclusion to the Caraval series was fantastical and fast-paced! I love seeing the ending of the Dragna sisters' journey and where they end up. Both sisters develop throughout the series, but their growth in this one is amazing! I can't wait for the holiday novella, Spectacular, coming out in October!!
