Finale by Stephanie Garber is the conclusion of the Caraval trilogy, where sisters Scarlett and Donatella (Tella) Dragna confront the unleashed immortal Fates. It has been two months since the Fates were freed from their prison in the deck of cards. It had been two months since Legend claimed the throne as his own, and it’s been two months since Tella discovered that the boy she fell in love with doesn’t exist. With the Fates on the loose, the empire is in chaos, and everything is hanging in the balance. Tella must choose between trusting Legend or a former enemy.
I am torn between loving and liking the novel. It was an unexpected way to end the trilogy, but I couldn’t help feeling annoyed with the two sisters. The story primarily follows Tella and her quest to eliminate the Fates, but it includes that frustrating “he loves me, he loves me not” trope that appears far too often. I wish the novel had focused more on their other plan to stop the Fates.
My favorite part of the novels was the Fates and the chaos they created. I appreciated how creepy and spooky some of them were. I would be open to reading a series that delves into the backstory or even revolves around the different Fates.
