Review of Finale


I received this book from a giveaway by Kayla Olsen, the author of This Splintered Silence. I gave this book 5/5 stars!

 In this book, we see many of the same characters that we saw in Legendary, and there are a few new ones. It picks up a couple of months after Legendary. I honestly love the way it began, and Garber doesn't wait to play with reader's emotions. It has the same atmosphere as Legendary, but I think that there is a hint of Caraval spirit in it since we get a look at Scarlett's point of view again. It isn't abundant with magic like Caraval, but it doesn't feel like the magic is little to none like Legendary. It is right dab in the middle and sways towards magic and no magic as the story goes on. 

 There is a good amount of romance throughout the whole book, especially in the beginning and end, which I enjoyed. I think that the romance was one of the most magical aspects of the book if we don't count Legend's magic and the Fates' magic. 

 A few plot twists were here and there, and I definitely didn't at least one coming, whether it's from being enveloped in the book or something else I don't know. It was a page-turner and it was so difficult to put the book down. I needed to keep reading it while there were still pages to read. Finale is easy to read, entertaining, romantic, original, and the characters are wonderful. 

 - SMALL SPOILER IN NEXT PARAGRAPH -

 It is one of those books where if you loved Legendary, Caraval, or both, then it should be given a try. If they weren't your cup of tea, at least read the first few chapters. The ending was satisfying, but I wish there were was another book to come after since that ending left me with one question: What kind of trouble will Legend and Tella get into now?

 - SPOILERS ENDED
This review is also on Goodreads and Bookbub!
Synopsis:
Welcome, welcome to Finale, the third and final book in Stephanie Garber’s #1 New York Times bestselling Caraval series! 

A love worth fighting for. A dream worth dying for. An ending worth waiting for.
It’s been two months since the Fates were freed from a deck of cards, two months since Legend claimed the throne for his own, and two months since Tella discovered the boy she fell in love with doesn’t really exist.
With lives, empires, and hearts hanging in the balance, Tella must decide if she’s going to trust Legend or a former enemy. After uncovering a secret that upends her life, Scarlett will need to do the impossible. And Legend has a choice to make that will forever change and define him.
Caraval is over, but perhaps the greatest game of all has begun. There are no spectators this time: only those who will win, and those who will lose everything.
Welcome, welcome to Finale. All games must come to an end
Reading log: Jun. 17, 2019 - Jun. 18, 2019

Review of The Queen of Nothing (SPOILER FREE)

This review is the SPOILER FREE version. I am giving this book 5/5 stars! GUYS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER! I DON'T WANT IT TO END! I really enjoyed reading this book, and I wish there were more books to come. I definitely think that there could be more if Holly Black wanted to make it happen. I live for Jude and Cardan's relationship, and their own personalities. I love these two so much. They are so skillfully crafted and have many layers to their personalities. There is more than just the sad, drunk boy, more than just the strong, power hungry girl. Their relationship grows (in a good or a bad way, you will find out) in this book and it tore me up! Many questions that had been unanswered in the second book are answered in this book. I feel like there are questions I still have that this book brought up, but it's nothing big that will eat at me for all eternity... I like the first half, but I really like the second half of the book. So much happene...

Review of Heir of Fire

I am giving this book 4.5/5 stars! In this book, we meet multiple new people, more answers are given, and more questions are left unanswered. I think this is the book where things really start to go down and get interesting. It's a turning point, not just for the characters, but for the story as a whole. Even the feel of the book is different. As I was reading, I felt like Chaol and Dorian's point of view was providing a slice of the past books, Manon's point of view was providing a slice of the future and where the series is heading, and Celaena's point of view was providing the transition from past to future. I really like Manon, more than I had anticipated. She brings something good to the table and the story and I can't wait to see how she continues to develop as a character. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she plays a bigger role in Celaena's story later on! I teared up a few times because OOOHHH MYYYY GOODNESS I am speechless with how the s...

Review of Rise of the Phoenix

I am giving this book 4/5 stars! I received a copy of the book from the author. Thank you again Isajanyan for the copy and writing a great book!!  If you like books with the chosen one, born solely for this event type of books, this is the book for you! This book was creative from the beginning with the brilliant writing style. In some movies, there is a prophecy or story from the past that they will describe and talk about. This book was written like someone was telling the prophecy, and I found that creative because this whole book starts with just that.  There was a lot of information in the beginning, it was a bit overwhelming and may have contributed to me having a hard time getting into it at first. That also may have contributed to me feeling as though some things were being repeated. While that may be the case, as I continued reading it got better. I was starting to get attached to the characters and story. So I highly recommend sticking around and reading it...
