I didn't think it could get any better than Caraval, but I'm so glad that Legendary proved me wrong.
Just a few short days after the events of book 1, Legend is hosting another Caraval in Valenda, where the empress resides. Legend has never held Caraval twice in one year, and having two Caravals within days of each other is completely unheard of. Donatella (Tella), Scarlett's sister, convinces Scarlett to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, where the winner of the game will get to meet Legend face-to-face. However, once the events get started, Tella finds herself on her own. Scarlett goes MIA, only Dante appears to care about her, and her fake fiancé might be out to get her. In order to win, Tella will have to make one of the most important choices, and possibly sacrifices, of her life.
I cannot get enough of Stephanie Garber's writing! She has such poetic prose that creates such an imaginative world readers can easily picture in their heads. I'm starting Finale asap because I just have to know what happens.

This book was straight chaos in the best way! I had an absolute blast reading it, and discussing it with my fellow buddy readers.
I had a blast reading Tella’s POV, learning more about the world, and experiencing Caraval again. The world building felt a little underdeveloped in book one, so I was glad to see more in this book.
Can’t wait to finish the series! 4 stars.

DANTE— marry me. please.
*clears throat*
so, anyways. i don’t have much to say. i enjoyed tellas perspective, it made me come to understand and enjoy her character a lot more. just as with caraval, i was confused throughout— well, the whole book really. to the point i’m at right now.
i had some theories. they were all wrong.
what i also had were CHILLS. because DANTE (i know i’m repeating myself but hang on). that man is absolutely heavenly, scraping-my-eyes-out, BAWLING, jaw-drop, screaming crying throwing up, dead-drop gorgeous. quote tella. well, not literally. but almost.
i was baffled. i don’t think i will recover. 10/10, recommend.
