Legendary
by Stephanie Garber
3.5 Stars to be fair. I feel like this book was a little of a letdown. It felt like a lot of book for a little bit of story. And I get it, it’s supposed to set up the story for the Finale. But it honestly was a whole book of Tella’s inner conflict between what was real and what wasn’t. Which I get referencing a few times, but it felt like every other page was Tella arguing with herself about what she believed. Near the end I started rolling my eyes at some this content because I was tired of hearing her thoughts and doubts about stuff. We get it. Also, comparing this book to Caraval, I prefer Scarlett’s point of view. Tella is just not likeable for me. Maybe because she makes immature assumptions and decisions that make no sense.
Also, this book lacked a lot of the magic and action that Caraval had. A lot of it is Tella doing a whole lot of little things that don’t add up to big things. The magic is lacking, the Game is minimal. And while it did flesh out SOME of the character backstory, I definitely don’t feel like it was enough to warrant an entire books worth of time.
It wasn’t bad. But I felt like I definitely wanted to just get through it to get to Finale which I will read next.
