I think that this book was the most entertaining book of the whole series! I think that the writing was much better than the last two books and was just much more detailed and descriptive. All throughout the book I was captured by the magic and wonders of the world, I’m sad that I finished the series, but am so glad I could follow along with this dangerously magical adventure.

Couldn’t keep my mouth from dropping to the floor when I found out Scarlet’s father was the Fallen Star. Amazing plot twist and scene! 👏👏👏

This book was such a fun read for me. I cannot wait to read "Once Upon A Broken Heart" and follow Jacks story even more. To me, he is the highlight of the book, and I hate that we don't get enough Jacks content.

This book ended fine. Nothing happened quite like I would have wanted it to, but I still enjoyed the ending overall. The ending left me feeling pretty satisfied, even with Tella's choice. I wasn't sure I was going to like Legend as much as I did Jacks, but by the end I liked Legend enough to be okay with that being her final decision. Honestly, it does make more sense. She loved him for much longer, and they did have clear chemistry.
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.

Satisfying conclusion to the Caraval series. I can't stand Tella, but love Scarlet and her story. The story was good and I feel like it is a prequel to Jacks in her next series which I think I like more than this one.

The epic conclusion to the Caraval series was fantastical and fast-paced! I love seeing the ending of the Dragna sisters' journey and where they end up. Both sisters develop throughout the series, but their growth in this one is amazing! I can't wait for the holiday novella, Spectacular, coming out in October!!

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.
