I still feel like Caraval could've been a stand alone book, but oh well.

This book is made up of fantasy mixed with a dash of mystery and a pinch of fantasy. Legendary felt very different from Caraval mainly because it was told in Tella's perspective. Personally, I liked Tella's perspective as it was just a break from Scarlett and we got to find out what happened to Tella in detail. The actual book was very slow in the first half, and then everything just felt kind of rushed in the second half. The romance wasn't very intriguing and I found myself getting distracted a lot and switching over to other books. I will read the last book just for the sake of finishing the series but maybe I have to stay away from fantasy for a little :)

It's wildly inappropriate that these very pretty but very very old men are chasing after girls, in a book aimed at girls. Tella is fifteen. These relationships are not OK.

It seems to me that

it's Legend's blood that stops Tella from dying from Jacks's killer kiss. Her heart gets slower and slower until then, and then it starts beating properly when Legend does some shady behind the scenes stuff. The age difference between Legend and Jacks is appropriate. They have similar motivations and interests. The only appropriate outcome is that Legend is Jacks's true love. That would be an awesome enemies-to-lovers. I know that won't happen. These books are as straight as a die, and I've read the next series (I genuinely didn't realise Jacks was the LI in Once Upon a Broken Heart, who would think that? There's nothing about his character that's ok.)

This series had SO much potential. Rated the first book 5 stars, but I am SO disappointed in the author for making two ageless/immortal characters be in a love triangle with a 15/16 YEAR OLD GIRL??? Sorry but that is NOT okay and I haven't seen anyone talk about it??? Horrible.
