I have been wanting to read this book for some time, and since the 3rd and final book is soon to be released, I finally jumped in and read it! It was pretty good overall. There were twists that I did not expect and I enjoy not being able to predict what is going to happen. BUT... there were a few too many twists for me to give it a full 5 star review. Also, Scarlett drove me nuts for the first 3/4 of the book! I did not like that character and her naivete, fear, trepidations, and second-guessing everything. I understand that she was a character that needed to go through a major transformation, and that was a key point of the story, but it was irritating. I'm glad she's a stronger character at the end of the book; otherwise, I may not have decided to continue reading the series. I look forward to Legendary, and then Finale because Stephanie Garber creates some pretty cool magical fantasy and the other characters in the book such as Tella and Julian are pretty interesting.
