    About this audiobook

    "[Narrator Rebecca Soler's] narration, by turns curious, afraid, frustrated, and exhilarated, immediately draws the listener into this world. In a story full of colorful characters, she gives each one a distinct voice that is faithful to their descriptions in the text." — Publishers Weekly on Caraval

    "Soler imbues each descriptive passage with exhilaration and wonder, providing a vivid sensory experience in which listeners will easily lose themselves." — AudioFile Magazine on Caraval

    New York Times     bestselling author Stephanie Garber’s limitless imagination takes flight once more in the colorful, mesmerizing, and immersive sequel to the bestselling breakout audiobook debut Caraval

    A heart to protect. A debt to repay. A game to win.

    After being swept up in the magical world of Caraval, Donatella Dragna has finally escaped her father and saved her sister Scarlett from a disastrous arranged marriage. The girls should be celebrating, but Tella isn’t yet free. She made a desperate bargain with a mysterious criminal, and what Tella owes him no one has ever been able to deliver: Caraval Master Legend’s true name.

    The only chance of uncovering Legend’s identity is to win Caraval, so Tella throws herself into the legendary competition once more—and into the path of the murderous heir to the throne, a doomed love story, and a web of secrets…including her sister's. Caraval has always demanded bravery, cunning, and sacrifice. But now the game is asking for more. If Tella can’t fulfill her bargain and deliver Legend’s name, she’ll lose everything she cares about—maybe even her life. But if she wins, Legend and Caraval will be destroyed forever.

    Welcome, welcome to Caraval...the games have only just begun.

    Praise for Legendary:

    "...this is a tour de force of imagination." — Kirkus

      Second time reading this book and I loved it more this time around. I don’t know if it’s because I listened to it right after Caraval or for some other reason but it was definitely more magical this time.

      Amazing series! It took my mind into this magical world!
    • 2/5
      I have a lot of thoughts about dante: first, he's toxic af. Second: he only get's described in the dumbest ways: e.g. "He smelled of ink and other seductive dark things". When I read that I had to pause, because I was laughing so much. I just can't take any male character serious, all of them get described in such shallow ways. They are all some kind of evil and very hot. Otherwise they have no character.
      But I also have to give the author credit: the world building is fantastic. The lore of the cards, the fates and everything related to Caraval is well thought out.

      In conclusion, this book is trash. It's the funny kind of trash, but in the end, it's garbage. The author is just not very good at developing good male characters. I hope, that in the meantime it has become better
    • 5/5
      Absolutely magical and enthralling! It’s narrative steals you away from reality and twists you up in intrigue, romance and adventure. I couldn’t get enough, just as good as its predecessor
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this one more than caraval because I didn't go in it expecting a fantasy. I know it would be romance and that is what I got.
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed the second book! A very exciting ending.
    • 5/5
      Obsessed with these books, going right into the 3rd! ?
    • 5/5
      Such a good story. You think you know what's happening one minute and the next you're leaning towards another possibility.
    • 4/5
      The audiobook was GREAT! The narrator was amazing. I absolutely loved the lyrical writing and cannot wait to read Finale!
    • 5/5
      Although I did not like Tella in Caraval, I found myself hanging onto the events that happened! It was fast-paced and easy to follow and the writing was much improved than the first book.
    • 5/5
      The story keeps getting more exciting this time we follow Scarlett's sister Tella as she makes her way through the game or will she?
      What is real?
      What is part of the game?
      That is what I love about caraval you don't know. Stephanie writes in a way that keeps you continuously guessing, edge of your seat wondering what's coming next.
      The romance in the book you crave it you want it but you question is it even real? This story is fantastic can't wait to dive into the next book.
    • 5/5
      Another great book by Stephanie! Another games, another heartaches and mysteries and secrets ?
    • 3/5
      This book was a 3.5 for me. i loved but i feel like so much was just the first book retold with diferent characters making the same things it became predictable at times
    • 5/5
      I did receive this book as an ARC but I never got around to the ARC but I did buy the B&N edition of this book. But I opted to listen to the audio book. Thank you to Flat Iron Books for sending me this amazing ARC.

      Stephanie Garber did it again. I love her writing. She has a way of drawing me into her books from the first page.

      Legendary is book 2 of Caraval. Legendary also tells the story from Tella's perspective unlike book 1 which told the story from Scarlett's perspective.

      This story is amazing. I see why there were special cards with the pre-order of this book. It was amazing. I wish I had got the pre-order but I missed out on that. Hopefully I will see someone that wishes to sell their cards...???

      We follow Tella as she begins her story with the memories of her mother and how she found a deck of cards and her mother told her the secrets these cards hold. Tella was young when her mother went missing and Scarlett hates her mother because she left them. OR did she?

      Now we follow Tella as she is on her way to play another game of Caraval but she has made a deal with a mysterious criminal that if she wins the game he can save her mother. But is it "just a game" this time? The deal is, if she wins the game, the first person she will see is Legend and she will save her mother.

      Upon arriving to the new game of Caraval, Tella has realized that her deal with the criminal has a deadline and she needs to contact him because she needs to extend the date but upon meeting him she finds out he wants more from her than he first ask of her. She must give him the identity of master Legend if she wishes to save her mother but if she doesn't win the game she will not be able to save her mother from the fates.

      The story of the cards are that there are a group of people called the "Fates" with special powers that have been captured and held captive inside a set of cards. This is the deck of cards that Tella found when she was young that soon after her mother went missing.

      The games starts and this story takes so many twist and you are amazed the characters become in the book. Just when you think you know who someone is, the real identity comes out. You are not sure if they are one of the fates or not. Also, you think you know who Legend is but then you find out it is not who you think it is.

      I love the love story that forms for Tella but does she actually ever except her love for him???

      I definitely recommend this series. I can not wait until book 3 comes out.

      I love this story.
    • 5/5
      4.5 stars. Daebak! What a thrilling and adventurous ride. ?
    • 5/5
      It’s packed of mystery not only in the plot but also in the characters as well which is why I feel like it was a fast paced read.. you just wanted to know more and I had so much fan reading this. The mystery and fantasy involved with the game had us feeling like we were playing along with the characters & every chapter ends on a cliffhanger that just made me want to pick up the book again & again & finish it really quickly that’s probably why I flee through it. ? Tella grew on me so much.. I didn’t like her in Caraval but her relationship with everyone were so interesting and different..I’m still torn between Julian, Dante and Jack ??? but I think that Jack will always be ny favorite especially when he says “my love” and also don’t forget his ?
    • 5/5
      Way better than the first one, obviously dying to read the next one!
