A review by stilestastic
Finale by Stephanie Garber
5.0
[4.5 stars]
“Fear was a poison that people mistook as protection. Making choices to stay safe could be just as treacherous.”
THIS BOOK GOT ME OUT OF MY READING SLUMP!!!! Nothing, and I repeat, nothing is worse to me than not being able to read. It was like, anytime I tried to make my eyes go over a page, no matter what it was, I was filled with dread and annoyance. But after finishing this, I finally feel motivated to finish the other two books that I've been reading for months.
There's something magical about the way that Stephanie Garber writes her scenes, which is fitting considering this trilogy is about magic. I love the addition of bright colors and fashion and descriptions that made me feel like I was in a fairytale or a dream while I was reading. It was fantastic imagery that always placed me within the setting perfectly.
This book actually made me like Scarlett again. Due to the last book and the fact that there was going to be a love triangle (the bane of my existence) between her, Julian, and Nicolas in this book, I thought I was going to dislike her even more, but I only grew to love her. It was less a love triangle and more of her discovering herself and finally having the freedom to choose things for herself.
One reason why I knocked off half a star was because I didn't feel like some things were resolved. I don't think there's going to be another book, but it didn't feel like the end of a series. I only wound up having more questions.
Aside from those parts, I think this book was really exciting and constantly had me hooked. The series was enjoyable and a really fun read!

Spoiler
Did Jacks really just run away and nobody is concerned, even though he's back at full power? He gave up just like that? Why don't we get to see any bits of Legend and Tella finally being together when that's been the conflict for the entire book, and it's such a monumental feat for Legend to finally love someone? How does Legend feel about being mortal? Why didn't they reference Tella having to find her daughter's secret after she made the deal?Aside from those parts, I think this book was really exciting and constantly had me hooked. The series was enjoyable and a really fun read!
