I was very happy with this ending.  It took us three books of nonsense with these sisters for them to come to their senses, but it proved to be worth the wait.

I absolutely adore Scarlett and Julian.  

Their love for each other is pure and somewhat childish, but I love how obsessed he is with her.  I do wish she had stuck with the game just to make him sweat, but I’m glad they worked through it all to come out stronger.

Tella is over here kissing on all the cute boys.  I know it wasn’t strictly her fault, but she drove me nuts flip flopping between Legend and Jacks.  In the end, Legend won her heart and I’m actually happy with that.

Although I feel for Jacks, I know his story is only beginning.  

Now I head to reread OUABH and TBONA before A Curse for True Love is released.

This was such a fantastic end to the series! What a rollercoaster - the story just kept moving and evolving so quickly, so much happened and yet it didn’t feel rushed. garner did such a great job of maintaining the magical essence of Caraval… This book also contained much darker tones with many of the Fates acting with brutality and no mercy.

Although, is it bad I prefer Jacks…??? Although Legend is still a great love interest. Overall I much preferred Tella’s story but I wish she featured more heavily at the end. While Scarlett’s story was good, I wish we got to read more interactions between her and Gavriel

This was disappointing. Messy and convoluted, confusing yet boring. I was kinda down for the love triangle, actually, but if you want to effectively close the triangle you can’t make me love the bad guy and then undo all the character work in one confusing chapter. Maybe that’s an unpopular opinion? The immediate swap from “bad guy goes good for love” to “just kidding he’s 100% evil” did NOT read. Meh.
