This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I recently caught up on this series after hearing people rave about it. I quickly got caught up in the magic of this world. The first book was from Scarlett's POV and the second from Tella's. This third one switches POV from chapter to chapter. I love books with multiple POVs as it gives a much more rounded story. I love getting into different people's heads and seeing the story from different viewpoints.
This story continues shortly after the previous book. The fates are free and are slowly regaining their strength. This time there is no Caraval and we are talking life and death for real. With this no longer being a game things were much more tense and I was on the edge of my seat worrying about the girls and their men so much in this book.
The fates were interesting characters and I loved hearing more about them. I loved learning about their powers and their back stories. Jacks is by far my favourite. I love his wicked sense of humour and the games he plays. On more than on occasion, I thought 'Oh Jacks you naughty boy!'
Both girls have different journeys that they need to undertake. Julian and Scarlett are more settled in their relationship while Tella and Legend are still quite on the edge. There is tension and lots of unresolved issues in their relationship.
This was an excellent end to the series and it really wrapped everything up perfectly.
