Finale (Caraval, #3)

Well, that was underwhelming. Part of the magic of Caraval and Legendary was the game. The game was enchanting and you never knew what was real. Finale had no game so the biggest chunk of magic simply wasn’t there.

Instead, the book focuses on The Fates. To me, The Fates (and that entire storyline) seems so detached from Caraval’s original story. I really had a hard time caring about that particular part of the story. Scarlett’s connection to The Fates really came out of no where. It just wasn’t for me.

The unnecessary love triangles are back in full force. The reader knows who Scarlett and Tella will choose so it’s just obnoxious to continually focus on the will-they-or-won’t-they storylines with the love interests. Honestly, I didn’t feel much in regards to any of the romance. I wasn’t cheering anyone on. I wasn’t grinning so hard my cheeks hurt. I was just ‘meh’ about it.

The story was engaging enough because I finished the book, I was just left wanting more from this glamorous world.
