Not everyone gets a true ending. There are two types of endings because most people give up at the part of the story where things are the worst, where the situation feels hopeless. But that's when hope is needed most. Only those who persevere can find their true ending.

Stephanie 

For her part, the younger Dragna sister felt as if she'd entered a world where both her dreams and nightmares had collided.

Harley Rae

Yet, as the pair stood there with their arms wrapped around each other, and their heads leaning closer together, they looked like two halves of the same heart.

Whitney Lambert

Her heart was still a little heavy, but she'd decided carrying it around would only make her stronger. 

Mary Carmona

Every story has four parts: the beginning, the middle, the almost-ending, and the true ending. Unfortunately, not everyone gets a true ending. Most people give up at the part of the story where things are the worst, when the situation feels hopeless, but that is where hope is needed most. Only those who persevere can find their true ending.

The only chance of uncovering Legend’s identity is to win Caraval, so 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. Caraval has always demanded bravery, cunning, and sacrifice. But now the game is asking for more. If Tella can’t fulfill her bargain and deliver Legend’s name, she’ll lose everything she cares about—maybe even her life. But if she wins, Legend and Caraval will be destroyed forever. Welcome, welcome to Caraval...the games have only just begun.

I’m glad I kept reading after the first book. The story really picked up and I really enjoyed the world building and descriptions of Valenda.

Caraval #2

Bit of a drag tbf but still very enjoyable!!

This book was honestly really difficult for me to get into. I basically had to make myself read it because I honestly just could not care less where the story was going. The only thing I really liked about this book was the aspect of the Fates and possibly finding out who Legend is. But you basically figure out who it is halfway through the book, but it doesn't get confirmed until the very end. Tessa's back and forth between Dante and Jacks was just annoying. Also, for as much as these sisters are supposed to care about each other, they barely even talked. 

Maggie Hotmer

When I red the first book I was a little disappointed, but this one definitely had me more interested there was definitely more to this story then I first thought can't wait for the next two.

Kathy gerrard

I cried so much my eyes burned. Loved this.

Hannah 

I actually liked this one more than Caraval!!

Welcome to the next edition of a Book that I should have read years ago but only getting to now, I have set myself a challenge this year that if I start a Series that I need to finish it so here we go, Book 2 in the Caraval series! This is such an imaginative sequel but this time around the stakes are even higher and things are getting personal and with an entire new magical mystery for you to get wrapped up into. Legendary has so many more dark twists and turns that keep you guessing what is going to happen next!

Tella and Scarlett should be celebrating the end of Caravel but Tella is not truly free; she has made a deal with a criminal and they have every intention of collecting this deal, however Tella doesn’t have what she made in the deal and there is only 1 way of getting that, winning the next round of Caraval, It asks a lot of its players, and this time is different, but for Tella the stakes are greater than ever. In fact, if Tella loses and fails to uphold her end of the bargain, she'll lose everything and everyone she cares about, but if she wins Caraval and Legend himself will be destroyed forever.

This is such a worthy sequel; I loved being fully immersed in this world and reading the books back to back is such an awesome feeling and these books always leave you not fully knowing what to expect what is to come next as there are twists and turns around every page and every corner. I can’t wait to see what is in Book 3 and that’s next!

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.

I really enjoyed this sequel! I liked that Tela is more spontaneous than Scarlet because it makes for a more fast-paced read. I also loved the lore about the Fates, Legend, and the Prince of Hearts.

Holy shit. I am in AWE of these books, it's fantasy like it's never fantasied before. The world building and narration is so exquisite, and the VA does an amazing job too! I just can't get enough if these books. 

And that plot twist on the last chapters?!?!?! It keeps you at the edge of your seat always!

3.5 rounded up to 4. I am trying to read these books before starting OUABH… and it’s a bit painful at times. I liked this one much more than Caraval. And I liked Tella’s story and character better than the first book. But I just find there’s always so much going on that there is very little emotional investment… and things rarely make a lot of sense. I liked the introduction of Jacks though.

logan lea

sue me but i am such a jacks girl he had he frothing at the mouth 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

was kinda mad HE was legend after that massive build up but i’ll eat it up anyways it’s fine🤴

This book was mainly focused on tella and her relationship w Dante who ended up being legend and Scarlett is sending letters to her old fiancée like wtf and it was ok overall felt like it dragged on a bit got quite bored

Hana 

up until about 100 pages to the end i was thinking this book would be closer to a 2.5-2.75, and i’m still unsure of what id really rate this. i rated caraval 5 stars, and i went into this a bit angry knowing that this book wasn’t about Scarlett. overall it was pretty good, but i could really go on rants on little details in this book that made me frustrated.

Piper Palmer

I was a little wary of continuing the series but l'm so glad I did.

I'm so happy we get to see so much more of Dante in this book.

I love a man with a mysterious past. Tella's character can be so foolish sometimes, it makes sense she's only 16. Still love her though.

I think I would've enjoyed the book more if I hadn't spoiled it for myself. Regardless, I still liked how everything panned out. One thing that bothered me a bit was the reiteration of what would happen if Tella won - it got a bit annoying to read that over and over.

Very excited to read the third book!

Jacks was the only good thing in this book 😚. 

But I am for Tellalegend 🤞🏾

finally done with this one and even tho i enjoyed it maybe more than the first one the ending was underwhelming.

i figured out who was legend at 60% of it maybe and then i expected a more “wow”explanation but i got nothing, and it was so repetitive when she kept saying: “if i do this then this will happen but if i don’t then this other thing will happen” i swear she said that like 10 times in the last 30% of the book and it was a little annoying. 

but it kept me on my toes and stuck to it until the end so i guess that’s the whole point of it, and i don’t know if i want to start the last one right now or wait a little.
