Legendary is not an easy book to describe. Of course, there’s a price for the help she’s been offered, a terrible price that could spell the end of Caraval forever, and, if Tella doesn’t play her cards right, it could also cost her her life and the lives of those she holds dear. So, when an enigmatic criminal approaches her with a promise of helping her in her quest, Tella jumps at the chance to have all her questions answered. Someone deeply imbedded in the game knows the truth about the long ago disappearance of Tella’s mother, a truth Tella has been desperate to uncover for years. They may not be plans she’ll be particularly fond of, but pretty much anything goes when it comes to Caraval. Just think what great things she could manage to pull off if the game were to continue.įortunately, the mysterious man behind Caraval, half-carnival half-tournament, is ready for round two, and he’s got big plans for Tella. After all, through her adventures in the first round of the game, she managed to save her sister from a loveless marriage. It gives her a chance to be the smart, courageous woman she’s always dreamed of being. True, no one really knows which events are real and which ones are only staged as part of the fabulous game that is Caraval, but Tella is all right with that.
Donatella Dragna, sister of Scarlett from book one, isn’t ready to give up the magical world of Caraval, so different from the miserable years she spent with her heartless father. Legendary picks up just a few days after the first book ends. Garber will give us more stories in this lovely, treacherous world where absolutely nothing and no one is what the reader expects it to be. Legendary captures so much of the mystery and magic I found lacking in the first book, and now I, too, am hoping Ms. I didn’t fall in love with Caraval the way so many of my fellow readers did, but I found myself invested enough in the story to give this second installment a try, and I’m so glad I did. Its richly-imagined world and lush prose took the book world by storm, and fans were elated to learn the author was planning a sequel.
Stephanie Garber’s début novel, Caraval, was one of the most highly-praised young adult fantasy novels of 2017.
