Still thinking that Jacks only deserves beautiful things but he only gets bad things while being the best character of the book. Fight me if you don't agree.
OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY OVERRRR
...not that this was a bad book, but the Caraval series has two of the most insufferable main characters I've ever had the displeasure of reading about. Too much happened too fast and this ended on a confusing note.
Whatever. Now onto what I've truly been waiting for... Once Upon A Broken Heart! Dear god I hope the main character of that one isn't as annoying as Scarlett or Tella.
I liked the ending to the book, it was short and sweet. Yet, this book has taught me, no ending is the real ending until all is finished.
This journey through Caraval and OUABH has been enjoyable so far and I cannot wait for A Curse for True Love
SPOILERS AHEAD!

Ok, now that the people who haven't read it are safe, I can discuss freely.
This is one of my favorite book series. The first book drew me in entirely with its premise and promise of magic and dreams. I'm also a sucker for a magical carnival.
Scarlett and Donatella are great protagonists and I have nothing against their characters. The parts that bothered me are that the Legend/Tella thing is dragged on for wayyyyyyy too long in the last book. It was hard to read at times. But, I am happy with how it turned out in the end. A fitting end for all.
BUT
We never find out if Tella lives past the initial seventeen years or not after her daughter is born. The sisters said that she would have to find out her daughter's secret by her daughter's seventeenth birthday or she would die. I think that's kind of an important part to not wrap up.
I also kind of liked the whole game between Julian and Nicolas but it didn't last long enough to go anywhere. My favorite character progression's was Scarlett's only because Donatella was so wishy washy with her feelings.
Overall, this was a great way to end the series. I look forward to more books from this author.
So damn beautiful. I literally couldn't put down this book, it was the best book in the series. I'm super excited to read Jacks' book.
