Having made a deal with a criminal to save her sister Scarlett from a disastrous arranged marriage, Tella must win Caraval and uncover Legend's identity, or risk losing everything, including her life.

Swept up in the magical world of Caraval, Donatella Dragna has finally escaped her father and saved her sister Scarlett from a disastrous arranged marriage. But Tella isn't yet free. She made a desperate bargain with a mysterious criminal, and what Tella owes him no one has ever been able to deliver: Caraval Master Legend's true name. To win Caraval, Tella throws herself into the legendary competition once more-- and into the path of the murderous heir to the throne, a doomed love story, and a web of secrets... including her sister's. If Tella can't deliver Legend's name, she'll lose everything-- maybe even her life.

Making Tella the protagonist of this story was a stroke of genius by Stephanie Garber, as she is about 1000 times more interesting than Scarlett. Legendary was just pure, unadulterated fun, from start to finish. Sure, it was spectacularly overwritten in places, and the plot held no surprises as every "twist" was pretty much precluded by a flashing neon sign above it, but literally, none of that mattered because this book was pure escapism and I loved every second!
