A review by oashackelford
Finale by Stephanie Garber
5.0
Donatella and Scarlett now live in a world where the Fates have been set free, but so has their mother. Legend is no longer speaking to Tella, and Scarlett and Julian are also on the rocks. In addition to all of this Empress Ellantine has recently died, which leaves Scarlett and Tella thinking that the Fates are likely to try something as soon as they wake up. With so many loose ends to tie up, will this fast paced sequel to the Caraval trilogy give us our almost ending, or our true ending?
I really enjoyed the adventures in this book, although I will say that I think Garber played with our emotions a little too much where Tella was concerned. All in all, I am happy with where the characters ended up. I also appreciated that any time a character had to make a devastating decision, the stakes felt appropriate, it didn't feel like anyone was overreacting. The choices always felt equally difficult so that there wasn't an obvious choice either. Very well done.
