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.

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 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.
