Legendary
"Legendary" by Stephanie Garber takes us deeper into the enchanting world of Caraval, this time through the eyes of Donatella (Tella). With new revelations about the fates and Legend himself, this sequel brings fresh intrigue and more secrets.
Reading from Donatella's POV was a good change because of her confidence. Discovering more about the fates and Legend added depth to the story, and Jacks' character was a delightful and fun addition. The push and pull between Tella and Dante kept the romantic tension high, and the magic woven throughout the plot was captivating. The game plot in this installment was also easier to follow, making for a smoother reading experience.
What I loved:
Donatella's POV
The Fates and Legend
Jacks
However, the constant miscommunication between characters left me frustrated. It made it challenging to be fully invested in their relationships, which seems to be a significant aspect of the plot. This ongoing issue prevented me from completely immersing myself in the story. While I liked it, I find myself more curious about how it all ends rather than being engrossed in the journey.
Overall, "Legendary" has its moments of wonder and adds interesting layers to the Caraval series, but the miscommunication trope dampens the overall enjoyment for me. I'm eager to see how it all concludes, but I hope for less frustration and more resolution in the final book.
