Didn't get very far in but before even starting I found myself not really caring how the story ended.
So damn beautiful. I literally couldn't put down this book, it was the best book in the series. I'm super excited to read Jacks' book.
OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY OVERRRR
...not that this was a bad book, but the Caraval series has two of the most insufferable main characters I've ever had the displeasure of reading about. Too much happened too fast and this ended on a confusing note.
Whatever. Now onto what I've truly been waiting for... Once Upon A Broken Heart! Dear god I hope the main character of that one isn't as annoying as Scarlett or Tella.
I've come to fall in love with legend. I find him by far hotter and more attractive than jacks.
This series and this book and this world was everything. I wish i can read it for the first time
2/5 ⭐
Thanks I hate it. I didn't care about anything that was going on. The plot twists were boring. Julian's character was ruined in this book and so was Dante's. Tella infuriates me so much. I had to stop reading multiple times because of her idiotic choices. I don't understand how anyone could like her including Scarlet. I felt like throwing this book off a cliff many many times.
4,75
all my love for Dante
I don't have the five stars feeling even if i LOVED this finale, stephanie garber is just my queen
I liked the ending to the book, it was short and sweet. Yet, this book has taught me, no ending is the real ending until all is finished.
This journey through Caraval and OUABH has been enjoyable so far and I cannot wait for A Curse for True Love
Honestly, while I enjoyed the book it felt like this series would have been stronger if it had been a duology. It's like the author wanted to go too many directions with this story.
Ok I have no words for this IT WAS A LOT and I wish it didn't end NEVER, but like Legend said: Caraval don't need to be inmortal because it is my FOREVER
Hmm it was worst than 2 first books... it was all about love and not the story! Great for teenagers
The only thing I love in this book was Jacks and some plot twists.
But the author plays with my feelings so bad
I successfully read this entire book in like 4 hours so everyone clap for me.
Tella and redacted because of spoilers have my entire heart and I will love them forever.
Still thinking that Jacks only deserves beautiful things but he only gets bad things while being the best character of the book. Fight me if you don't agree.
This review is also featured on Behind the Pages: Finale
The Fates have been freed, allowing them to wander among the people and play their disturbing games. Whether it's turning a family into stone, or stringing up people to turn them into puppets. Tella and Scarlet must outwit the Fates before it is too late. And the one person with the power to defeat them, may not be trustworthy. Legend may sit on the throne, but that doesn't mean he will be willing to help. Not if it risks his powers.
This time instead of only one sister narrating, Finale switches between Donatella and Scarlet's point of view. Given that the previous books were each told by one sister, it made sense for the last book to share POV. This provided a creative way for each sister to complete her story arc. Unfortunately, this also allowed for each to become involved in a love triangle as well.
Finale steps away from the thrill of Caraval and focuses on romantic relationships. As the world changes due to the magic of the Fates, the drama caused by each relationship grows. But the conflicts on both sides felt disjointed. At times there were plot elements added that only ended up coming to a halt and never fully explored. Some of the more dramatic reveals fell flat because there was not enough build-up to support them.
Much of the magic and mystery that brought this series to life was put to the side for more upfront and immediate conflict. The Fates were intense villains with grotesque abilities, but the focus always remained on the character's romance. And the unique way Stephanie Garber described scenes from the previous novels, focused instead on detailing the dresses each sister wore. Finale fell more into the typical young adult romance genre than the intricate fantasy it started as.
ONLY 5 STARS? This book deserves more. It was INCREDIBLE. I think I might have a new favouritr trilogy.
This book was so beautiful that it left me crying because it ended. This hasn't happened to me in a long time. I'm going to have a HUGE book hangover after this masterpiece. Everyone needs to read this, it's too good to be true.
Stephanie Garber, you're amazing! This book has everything you need: love, friendship, family, betrayal, hate, joy. It makes you feel every possible feeling, it's so magical and beautiful. I definitely need to read these books again.
Oh, and I did absolutely fall in love with Donatella Dragna. She's awesome.
