Finale is the final book in the Caraval trilogy, however, it feels more like the final book in a duology with Legendary. While all three books are connected, Finale concludes the story started in Legendary.

As I expressed before, I loved Caraval but found Legendary just okay. Although I liked reading more about these characters, I feel similarly about Finale. I'm glad the story was concluded but I would have also been fine with Caraval being a standalone novel.

I still recommend Caraval. While the rest of the series is not necessarily a disappointment, it is not as a gripping as the first book.
