I still absolutely did not like the ending.
Tella still grated my nerves every chance she got, but Scarlett (while still a bit annoying) was really good in this book (even if I did find it completely unbelievable for her character). Julian really stepped up his game in this one; i was real indifferent to him in the first book, and we barely saw him the second, so I don't know if that's really that hard to do. And I loved Jacks and the Assassin the most, but I was dead set on Legend being the legendary character of this series and I'm so fucking disappointed in the direction the author decided to take him; he could have been so great.
Whatever, I really only wanted to read this series bc I really want to read Once Upon a Broken Heart, and considering the improvement between books 1 and 3 of this series I'm holding onto a thin string of hope that OUaBH will actually not make angry.

i LOVED caraval and loved legendary even more. but this book was just…a huge disappointment.
first of all, there were so many plot points that went nowhere.
tella and jacks being married was a great plot twist and i gasped. it could’ve been great to see that played out, but no it was immediately rectified the next chapter and jacks just undid it? huh? alright then
those are just two examples but there were a lot of plot points (namely with their mother) that i felt weren’t necessary and that were just abandoned/solved too quickly
second of all, wtf? this book was all over the place. it felt like stephanie implemented so many little threads throughout the other books and then realized “oh shit i have to wrap all this up”
things either happened way too conveniently and quick for these characters or frustratingly wrong and some parts of this book just felt both rushed AND drawn out. at the same time.
i do still love these characters, this world, and this whole story, but this final book was such a let down. besides the romance with
