Rating: 4/5 stars

The conclusion of the Caraval trilogy, Finale wraps up the tale of Scarlett, Tella, and the Fates.

This was a really fun end to the series. I still LOVE Dante and Jacks, and thought Julian had some great moments as well. Both of the sisters annoyed me in parts, but overall I enjoyed their boldness and appreciated finally getting both of their POVs in the same book.

I can’t much more without spoilers, but I had a lot of fun with this trilogy and highly recommend it! I’m excited to read the Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogy soon.

CW: Death/blood/violence/injury/torture; death of parent; murder; confinement/kidnapping

Finale was enjoyable and it was lovely to see the growth of some of the characters. The plot was good, despite the lack of anything to do with Caraval and the almost abandoned or rushed plot points that cropped up within. I do feel some of the characters could’ve had a stronger role in the book or been developed better.

Overall, it was relaxing, enjoyable and a good ending to the trilogy.
