Much to my joy we got to meet a good number of Fated Immortals, visited Fated Places (including the Immortal Library where I could have spent an eternity), and featured Fated Objects (which played a key role in the plot). As a fantasy writer I’m a geek for world building so I was super excited to get to know more about the Fates. It features a new plot set around the Fates. The third book (Finale) was the best book of the trilogy. It's the perfect set up for a trilogy's conclusion. The novel concludes with the Fates, which includes magical immortal beings, objects, and places, being unleashed upon the world to wreak havoc. Also, the consequences in this game are actually real. This time the capital of this world is Tella’s playground and it was so much fun getting to explore the city of Valenda. The second thing this book did right was putting the games in a new setting. Putting her in the spotlight was the right choice. For one, as I mentioned above, Tella has a far better personality for a main character. If you look past that, however, there are marked improvements over the first novel. The reasoning was very much just for plot convenience purposes. It made no sense for there to be another Caraval so soon after the first one based on what had been previously established about the tradition. The second book (Legendary) had a sort of rehashed plot in that it was another Caraval game.
