Legendary starts straight where Caraval left off. This time we are following Tella’s story as the so call friend is calling in her debt and she must compete to save her mother. But as the game moves to the city of Valenda Tella discovers a real life threat, a new villain and that this may not be a game, or is it? 

The second book starts off with action straight away and you are swiftly moved into the story. Again you spend the time doubting everything you read, questioning anything you discover and coming up with theories that are likely very wrong. I was lucky to read this as a buddy read and I’m not joking when half the comments where : “Omg!” “Hang on, what!?!” 

I loved the introduction of Jacks and really enjoyed having Dante more present in these books, they both made for some great banter. 

I didn’t realise before but at the end of the book it’s mentioned Tella is only 16 which has throne me a bit, as I expected her to be an adult (18-19). Again we end on a cliffhanger and more questions then I started the book with so lucky I have the final book in the series sitting on my bedside table.
