While not quite the same vibes as Caraval, it's so fun to be back in this world of fates, magic, and stories with many layers of endings. This time we get more Jacks and we really get to know Evangeline Fox, who is having a pretty rough go of things. So rough in fact that she makes a deal with the Prince of Hearts, despite her better judgement.
What follows is a series of (mis)adventures which definitely kept my attention. One should always be careful what they wish for.
There's a lot going on and I'm eager to see where this series takes us. The story takes place after the events of the first series, so be sure to read Caraval, Legendary and Finale before starting this one if you don't want to be spoiled at all as to the outcome of those books.

This was pretty good but not as magical as Caraval. It did not allure me in as well as the Caraval series. Still, the plot was really good but I think it could have been improved. Also I still rlly like Jacks idk why but he seems like the villain who wasn’t born to be a villain yk? But yea pretty good!

This book is incredibly fast paced. I love Evangeline’s personality, even if she is a little slow and confused. Graveyard scene>. I’m kinda going back and forth on the plot. Idk how I feel about it yet, but it’s still might be interesting. Also the cover is preppy-
There is something about the world building in Stephanie Garber’s books, that I simply adore. It always feels so real as magical as it all is. There’s a logic behind it somehow. I get so sucked in. I wasn’t sure how this series would hold up. I adore Caraval. But my gosh, this first book was an amazing start. I really like Evangeline. Even if she is a bit quick to jump to conclusions and not think things through. There’s still something about her I love so far. I’m also enjoying learning more about Jacks. I didn’t love him in the other series, but he’s warming up to me in this one thus far.
