stephanie garber legendary a caraval novel

Legendary essentially was a reboot of Caraval. Characters were suspended in the middle of a non-advancing plot line that was begging to get on with the third book already. Legendary suffered hugely from “second book syndrome”. Today I found out it’s going to be a trilogy, so that explains it a little bit more. With a duology, you’d expect new events to take place.

It came full circle, right back to the beginning, and hardly advanced at the end. Now, more of the same should be a great thing if you loved the original. The problem for me was that Legendary was more of the same. Thus, it’s with a heavy heart that I’m rating it 3 out of 5 stars. It’s no wonder that I was super excited for the sequel. In 2017, I counted Caraval to my favourites of the year.

But if she wins, Legend and Caraval will be destroyed forever. If Tella can’t fulfill her bargain and deliver Legend’s name, she’ll lose everything she cares about-maybe even her life. Caraval has always demanded bravery, cunning, and sacrifice, but now the game is asking for more. 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. 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 girls should be celebrating, but Tella isn’t yet free. published by Flatiron Books, Macmillan Publishers Īfter 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.Legendary ( Caraval #2) by Stephanie Garber
