FINALE is the “thrilling and surprising conclusion” (ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY) to the #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling Caraval trilogy

With lives, empires, and hearts hanging in the balance, Tella must decide if she’s going to trust Legend or a former enemy. After uncovering a secret that upends her life, Scarlett will need to do the impossible. And Legend has a choice to make that will forever change and define him.

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!

Consider me shocked. I know I haven't been wow'd by this series but I actually liked this one. It was predictable and had the things I liked in the other books and the things I didn't like, but more enjoyable. I like the world and magic system in all these books. I think my problem with the other books is they seem more about teenagers falling in love one moment and not the next. I know this is a YA series but the other books just didn't keep me entertained as this one. Yes this has those moments but there was more of a story and plot that didn't feel all over the place or rushed.

5 ⭐️ This was by far the best of the series. I went in knowing to read this before OUABH, and am very happy with the way it wrapped this up and still left room for expansion into a new series. I'm excited to see what happens with Jacks. I really did feel a little sorry for him even if he was a shit head at times lol. I'm glad after all the drama, both Scarlett and Donatella got their happily ever after. I listened to this on Hoopla, but 100% will be buying physical copies and doing a re-read.
