After everything worked out in her favor at the end of Caraval, Tella should be happier than ever, but she still owes the mysterious criminal who helped her make it all happen. Now Tella has to play in the next Caraval and figure out Legend’s real name in order to pay her debts, save her mom, and ultimately save herself.

Right when I thought I had the game figured out, everything changed. All the rules from the last Caraval didn’t apply here, and it was fun to see everything play out in what felt like (but wasn’t) a less formal/structured game throughout the city. I loved all the little moments between Tella and Dante, and hated everything between Tella and Jacks. The introduction of the fates to this story took everything to another level. It almost put the game players and the game makers on the same team, where it didn’t feel like that was the case in the last book. I didn’t love Legendary as much as I loved Caraval, but only because, at the time, Caraval felt like a nice wrap up to Scarlett and Julian’s story, but Legendary leaves Tella’s story wide open.
