╰┈➤Caraval is over. It has been a couple months since all of the fates were freed and Legend became somebody Tella does not recognize. He has also taken the throne for himself. Tella must choose him or somebody she never wanted to see again. And Scarlet has uncovered the biggest secret of them all. With all of their lives and their land hanging in the balance, the game seems to have just begun.

╰┈➤This is how you end a story. Omg, I was just as anxious as everyone else in the book the entire time. Tella & Legend, love them, love them so much. Scarlet & Julian, they are the definition of fated. Jacks, omg I still adore him even while he was the "villain" in this book, he still deserves the entire world. I don't fault Tella for what she did to him though either, he kind of brought it on himself but I still adore him. The story was a masterpiece, so many twists and turns, just when I thought I figured something out, BOOM, no you didn't. 😂 This story will live rent free in my head for the rest of my life and I am totally okay with that.
