Legendary: Caraval, Book 2

This sequel was so good and had a phenomenal plot, amazing writing & description, characters that you fall in love with, and a ship that you will root for until the end. I finished that book in a day and didn't want to set it down it was so good. I personally liked it better than the first book and even the first book was amazing.

I think this book is better than the first, and that's not something I was expecting. But Stephanie Garber adds even more twists and turns, and keeps the story very intense but not too violent. It was delightful to read about Caraval once again, to read about the characters' journeys as they explore the game and as Tella tries to win so she can find her mother. You will find yourself eagerly turning the pages of this thick novel toward a spectacular ending. Mild spoiler: you also find out who Legend truly is at the end of the book. This book did have some violence, sexual content, and some drinking, as well as a couple "dirty he--s" and bas--rd said a couple times by Tella, but not anything someone who is at least eleven couldn't handle. I loved this book and am hoping that there will be a book three!

I really loved this book.it was even more thrilling then the first and i recommend for 11 and up.

The first book was really well written and enjoyable to read. The second book has a lot more passionate sense. I would recommend that older audiences read this book that are above 16. I am a freshman in high school, and I felt very incomparable with how the story began.

Legendary is the second book in the Caraval series. This book is much more intense than the last book. There is quite a bit of violence and the main character (which is Tella, rather than Scarlett like the first book) makes a deal and is slowly dying. Her hands and ears start dripping blood at one point because her life is fading. There is some passionate kissing and flirting in the book. There is some alcoholism when Tella drinks to excess. The book also deals with the theme of abandonment, because of Tellas mother. Altogether it was very exciting, and very well written.

This wasn’t as good as Caraval and the beginning was slow, but it got better. I like the romance in this one more that I did in Caraval, but the world in Caraval was better. Still good though. The amount of plot twists should be illegal!

Legendary is quite different from its predecessor Caraval. It's from Tella's perspective, which means the romance factor is upped and the passionate kisses are also numerous. Tella's narrative is a bit impulsive and silly, and she's less nice than her sister Scarlett. The plot is predictable and overwritten, and there are a few surprising editing errors. Tella does things so stupid that I'm screaming at the book for her to stop. Annnnnndd… Dante is a jerk. Jacks is a jerk. Can't there be a main boy character who isn't a jerk? However, despite its flaws, this sequel is magical and engaging and interesting (I liked the idea of the Fates trapped in the cards), and I was rooting for Tella at the end. I really loved Caraval. But Legendary carves a path that isn't quite so… Legendary, you could say (see what I did there??) Parents will have a lot to be concerned about, including several detailed and intense descriptions of passionate kisses. Tella also drinks and gets hungover even though she's only 17.
