Rating 3.5


I once again struggled with rating this. I LOVED "Caraval" and "Legendary", but the last installment "Finale" was a let down. I decided to be generous in my rating and went to 4 stars since I did adore the other two.

What I liked about it:
*The immersion into the Fates history
*All the characters
*The magic system

What I didn't like:
*The too quick and too happy ending
*Throw away but interesting characters that should have had more story
*Felt rushed
*A handful of unnecessary page fluffing scenes and side plots.


Ultimately I feel like Garber just wanted to be done with the series and ended it here. It would have been amazing to see it as a four book series, seeing more of the Fates story, more conflict or tragedy, and giving some interesting characters more justice (Like Paradise and her possible lineage, all the Fates, really).

I wanted to love this book considering I adored the first two, but alas I cannot say I did.
