I think I’ve come to accept that I just like reading from Scarlett’s POV. I absolutely loved the first book but when we got Tella’s POV in Legendary it just took me out of the story and I thought it was just getting used to this new voice but it was the same here in Finale. I just wasn’t as invested when reading Tella’s parts. Scarlett just captivated me and that was still present in her chapters so I wished there were more of them.

Also I just miss the magic of Caraval. This one was dealing more with the Fates and the empire and I just missed the fun atmosphere of Caraval. It was sort of interesting learning more about their mother (and I wouldn’t be opposed to learning more about her when she was younger) but I felt like it was a bit of a wasted opportunity because she didn’t stay with them long at all before she was gone. And I also feel like the Legend arc was left wanting more. It kind of felt last second that’s right that storyline needs tied up.

As a finale everything felt a bit underwhelming. There were moments things were building up but they just didn’t peak. First book is still everything though.

Stephanie Garber is an amazing writer. Her story truly comes to live. The way she describes thing is beautiful! Read it and you will understand what I mean.

UGH WHAT A BOOK

5/5 ⭐️

I was so in love with this book. this by far was the best for me in the series. I loved the whole back and forth with the fates and having to figure it all out

I loved that we got a little more of Scarlett too! i knew from the first chapter they had her that she would choose someone specific but hey i loved the plot anyways!!

This whole series was a whirlwind and i am still reeling from it. Jacks was just so perfect as usual and i love how he’s just the villain but someone Tella has to choose between.

all in all, the series was a 6/5 ⭐️♥️

So i got to 90% of the book in 4 days but bridgerton season 3 came out so I’ve been on a bridgerton brain rot since. HOWEVER I picked the book back up again to finish the 10% left and OMG THIS BOOK WAS SO FREAKING GOOD! The ending ??? Damn it had some lines that hit home. The confessions of love, the quotes on love and angst and longing and I’m just happy with the very happy endings both of my ships got. STAN THE DRAGNA SISTERS AND THE SANTOS BROTHERS !!!
