Read All The Books

This is the last installment of the Caraval series and man is it a bittersweet one. I love this series with all my heart and cannot believe it has ended! I love this entire world and the wonderful cast of characters, so as much as I loved this book I'm also sad that this series has ended. There will be no more new things to discover about this world in the future.  Finale picks up a couple of months after the events of Legendary. The fates have been released from the deck of destiny and Legend has claimed the throne.  Unlike the first two books, there is no game in this one. Everything is very much real. There is no Caraval, just real events and real consequences. This is also told in dual perspective, from Tella and Scarlet's point of views which I think just wraps up both sister's stories nicely. You can get to see both their perspectives and both of their endings. I loved meeting the new cast of characters in this story, the fates truly deserve their own book...

You can read my review for book one here . Book two finds our group of heroes/Gods right where we left them. Pretty boy Hephastion has been cast aside by Alexander and sent off with Katerina on a dangerous mission to Egypt.  Alexander struggles with becoming the leader he wants to be and the leader his country needs.  Jacob trying to forget Katerina is hell bent on being the best Assyrian lord he can be trying to help his brothers get rid of the blood magics. Cynane being held captive and tortured by the Assyrian lords must find a way to stay alive and escape and poor Princess Zofia trying to find a way to escape Ochus to get to the spirit eaters so that she can change her fate. Will she ever get away. Will they discover the legendary Pegasus? Who knows. I do because I read the book and so should you! Eleanor Herman does a wonderful job of describing the landscape that you feel like you are right there on the Nile with Heph and Katarina.  Poor Heph const...

“The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.” So I was hooked on this book as soon as I read the opening lines, I mean how could you not. They draw you in!  I initially put this book on my TBR as I had been googling books similar to Harry Potter and I had come across an article that said The Night Circus was one for Harry Potter lovers. Then I read Caraval by Stephanie Garber  (my favourite read in 2017, review can be found here ) and I had heard that she had been inspired by The Night Circus so I was dying to read this!  The Night Circus follows two young magician's who have been trained for a competition, a competition against one another. A circus is created as their battleground, where they must use their magic to outdo one another. However, no one expected them to fall in love and no one told them that in order to win, one won't survive. This was truly a wonderfully magically...
