My love for this series runs DEEP. 4.5 ⭐️I think book 3 was my favorite of them all, but honestly they’re all incredible.

The only reason I took off .5 of a star was that I feel like throughout all the books there’s just a little bit too much rumination for me. Obviously we need to see the internal dialogue of the characters, but at times, it felt redundant. Regardless of that, I highly recommend this incredible series! I can’t wait to continue in this universe with OUABH!

10/10, this is my new favorite series. This last book made me laugh, cry, and kick my feet cause I was giddy. My husband came over to hug me as I cried at the ending because I was so touched.

Ok, now that the people who haven't read it are safe, I can discuss freely.

This is one of my favorite book series. The first book drew me in entirely with its premise and promise of magic and dreams. I'm also a sucker for a magical carnival.
Scarlett and Donatella are great protagonists and I have nothing against their characters. The parts that bothered me are that the Legend/Tella thing is dragged on for wayyyyyyy too long in the last book. It was hard to read at times. But, I am happy with how it turned out in the end. A fitting end for all.
BUT
We never find out if Tella lives past the initial seventeen years or not after her daughter is born. The sisters said that she would have to find out her daughter's secret by her daughter's seventeenth birthday or she would die. I think that's kind of an important part to not wrap up.
I also kind of liked the whole game between Julian and Nicolas but it didn't last long enough to go anywhere. My favorite character progression's was Scarlett's only because Donatella was so wishy washy with her feelings.
Overall, this was a great way to end the series. I look forward to more books from this author.
