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 Rebel

I am giving this book 3.5/5 stars. This book was more interesting than Prodigy , but not as interesting as Legend . Maybe more like Champion , in my honest opinion. I wasn't really interested in the beginning. It went slow and didn't feel like it was starting until around half way through the book. The beginning gives a lot of information on Antarctica's technology (which I was glad to learn more about) and I loved seeing how Day and Eden work through their past traumas and relationship struggles. I liked seeing how the Republic is handling things after war and what happens to Day and June after the events at the end of Champion . It goes over different types of relationship tensions and how their lives have changed and are going. I think it could have been shortened at least a little bit though. - SMALL SPOILER IN NEXT PARAGRAPH - We don't see Eden's bullies after the Level system is shut down. I found myself wondering what was happening to them and how the...

Review of Ascenders

                                                                      Amazon           I received this book from the author for an honest review. I gave it 3.5 stars! I did like this book, but it wasn't completely for me. There were spectacular descriptions on the appearance of different things. I could clearly picture what the author wanted me to see, and it wasn't so much so that I couldn't use my own imagination. I also liked that the author did not streamline the entire book, so it felt like there was more to the story. Personally, I think that it added to the writing quality and was refreshing.  The story was original. I love when the afterlife is played with because we don't know a lot about it. Being able to follow Walker through her experience was interesting and...
