While the start of this book may feel slower than the pacing of the previous two, it is worth perservering as the second half of the book (at least to me) felt that was where all the action was. The real beauty of this book is the bond that two sisters share and the extents they would go to in order to protect and defend each other. The cryptic mentions of almost and true endings was interesting, however I wish there was more
Other than feeling very cringe like at some of Tella's actions and choices in the book, there was only one more section that unnerved me and while I will state the specific in the spoiler, it involves a relationship dynamic between two characters later in the book

In this third book we have mixed points of view: some chapters are from Scarlet's perspective, other from Tella's. This makes the story very interesting and a nice complement to the other books, since "Caraval" was written from Scarlet's POV and "Legendary" from Tella's.
Overall the story was good: I really appreciated knowing more about the Fates and their powers, and discovering more about Paloma's life and the secret that involves Scarlet.
My problem with this trilogy (especially with this last book) is how long it takes for the story to follow through. Although I enjoyed "Lengendary" (the second book), it sort of dragged the story was well. Maybe, if we could take out of the second and third books everything that was just "filling", this could be one of the best duologies written in the fantasy genre. "Caraval" was such a good first book that I feel that the the other two are just dragging the entire trilogy.
To summarize: this is a very nice story, with good and strong female characters, that will do everything to keep each other (and the men they love) safe. But, it good be perfectly told in just two books what would make this one of the best fantasy stories I've ever read.
