One thing I would say about this book is that the plot was plotting y'all. I was deeply invested the entire time, though I will say that the ending was wrapped up a little too quickly at some parts (Gavriel was
won over too quickly in my opinion
). There were also some unanswered questions left - like more about Paradise or Tella's future daughter.

As always though, the world of this series was so fascinating. I liked all the lore surrounding the Fates especially, it made the world a lot cooler. And Stephanie Garber just does such a good job in really immersing you in the series' magical setting too.

Character-wise, I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am we got Scarlett's POV again in this book, I missed her and Julian. Truthfully, theirs was pretty much the only romance I actually cared for. The weird love triangle with Tella, Legend, and Jack was not all that interesting—probably because, much like in Legendary, I still couldn't care less about Legend. Tella, meanwhile, is cool as hell and Jacks is so interesting too. I'm glad there's a whole other series with him cause he's such an intriguing character.

While there were a few issues here and there, Finale is a pretty good finale for the series. Both the book itself and the series overall were solid enjoyable reads that I couldn't set down.

This series is just not for me. The plot twists were just pointless i honestly felt like i was 13 reading this - nothing was giving for me. I really need to learn to DNF !!

2.5/5 stars

Ended up finishing it with the audiobook. I don't know how I would've finished this without the audiobook so thank god for that, even though I didn't love the narrator. Even with the audiobook it took me way too long to finish this, I just had no interest and wasn't curious about the story.

I preferred the plot of the first two books, the characters still annoyed me and there were so many parts that made me roll my eyes. I'm just happy I'm done with this series and really hope I will enjoy Once Upon a Broken Heart more!

THIS BOOK?? DESTROYED ME. I shouted, shed tears, gasped, wanted to throw it across the room. It made me feel so many emotions. I love it so much I can’t describe my love well enough. The romance. Oh my God. I cannot look at another man in this world. No one. Will ever. Reach Legends. Level. This man will forever top real men. The romance is so beautiful and unlike anything I have read about before. It’s partly because of Stephanie’s whimsical writing style, this amazing woman’s writing style

I need more Tella and Legend. Hoping that the Novella coming out later in the year addresses that.

Note: Originally read this because I wanted to read OUABH but now I’ve heard it’s enemies to lovers
