I wish there had been a bit more Scarlett and Julian scenes. I love them together, and I would feel more complete if they had a few more scenes sprinkled in.
Overall, this is a very good book and a very good series. I do recommend, and I think I will love Jacks' spinoff even more.

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

I liked this more than Legendary but less than Caraval. I loved getting more Scarlett and Julian and I thought it was interesting getting to learn more about the Fates. I still didn’t really like Tella and Legend but I’m glad they ended up together and happy. Overall, I liked this world and I’m excited to get to Once Upon A Broken Heart.

Although, is it bad I prefer Jacks…??? Although Legend is still a great love interest. Overall I much preferred Tella’s story but I wish she featured more heavily at the end. While Scarlett’s story was good, I wish we got to read more interactions between her and Gavriel
