Legendary (Caraval, #2)

by Stephanie Garber

I wish I liked this book as much as the first one. Unfortunately, it all felt very similar for me. Only with a main character that made dumber choices.

She was running around and talking to people, while nothing at all happened. I did not care for her, nor for her secrets towards Scarlet nor her struggles about who Legend really was. I did not find any plot twists in this book, since the one about Dante being Legend was so foreshadowed that it was honestly a surprise that our main character refused to believe it. She knew throughout the whole book, yet she never tried to wrap her head around it?
Oh and I am sure that the fades were very intriguing, but I could not make myself care about them. I hoped for more world building and a better understanding of how the magic works, but there is none of that in this book. It expends without rules and I excuse it anymore. One book like this is enjoyable, a second should improve or it is just the same concept all over again.
I flew through the audiobooks so I will give Finale a chance, but I am prepared not to love it. It was enjoyable, but not good.
