LEGENDARY(CARAVAL#2) BY STEPHANIE GARBER
Legendary was an epic sequel to Caraval. This series was a miss for many people but I’m so glad that it was a hit for me. I’m absolutely loving it! The second book is Donatella’s story and to be honest, I wasn’t fond of her in the first book so I really wasn’t expecting to love this book but I did. It totally blew my mind away with all its twists and turns. Although things became a bit predictable at the end, It’s a well written and a well executed plot. The ending left me wanting for more. I can’t wait to read the Finale!
BLURB:
A heart to protect. A debt to repay. A game to win.
After being swept up in the magical world of Caraval, Donatella Dragna has finally escaped her father and saved her sister Scarlett from a disastrous arranged marriage. The girls should be celebrating, but Tella isn’t yet free. She made a desperate bargain with a mysterious criminal, and what Tella owes him no one has ever been able to deliver: Caraval Master Legend’s true name.
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.
AMAZING wrap up, love! So many good ones! I hope you have an amazing July and happy reading, love! 💗xx

I can’t wait for FINALE! It’s going to be an epic conclusion to the Caraval series. Bring Me Their Hearts was a fun read, and yeah, we really need that sequel ASAP. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Omg Raven, a 2 star review from you??? I NEVER *gaspppp* That’s one to definitely stay away from for me then, lol!
I read Caraval but it was a bit of a dud for me. I think I’ll wait for Finale to come out to see if I continue the series (Although I do have a copy of Legendary on hand, lol). Hope you have an amazing reading month in July!

Yeah, I rarely give two star reviews and that book was disappointing especially the protagonist.
Caraval was a miss for many people and I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. I hope you give it another chance because the second book was better than the first book.
Thank you, I hope you have a great July! ❤️
