Such a charming ending to the Caraval trilogy. Having loved the first book and found the second book to be more of a filler, I was surprised at how nicely the story addressed most of the loose ends and gave a satisfying dual perspective approach. I love how Scarlett’s relationships with Julian, Tella, and her mother were all developed over the trilogy and I really enjoyed the exploration of romantic, platonic, and familial love. The world building of magic and fates compared to the first book was also a nice set up for Once Upon a Broken Heart. Great trilogy!
