So I was a little surprised when the final book opens not immediately following the the ending of the previous one, but instead several weeks later. Legend released them to save Tella, who had allowed herself to be locked away to release her trapped mother. At the end of Legendary we know that the Fates had been released from their imprisonment, cruel gods who had been locked away to prevent them torturing humanity. For Finale, the story splits the narrative between both sisters which makes sense for a much bigger story. The previous two books had each followed one perspective – Scarlet took us through Caraval, while Tella narrated Legendary. That day came during lockdown, and Finale was there waiting. I made myself wait because I had other books I needed to review, and because I knew a day would come when I wanted just an easy, quick, guaranteed win to read. Īfter putting off starting Legendary for as long as I did, I almost wanted to dive straight into Finale. Welcome, welcome to the Caraval’s Finale. There are no spectators this time: only those who will win, and those who will lose everything.
