Personally, I think that this series grew better as it progressed, with the first one being the weakest of the trilogy and this one turning out as the one I enjoyed the most. Nevertheless, against all predictions, I preferred Stephanie Garber’s “Caraval” series. The strength of this books in my opinion is jacks and the bound that develops between him and Evangeline, even though I often found the female protagonist quite irritating. As far as the plot goes, I wasn’t totally invested in it, because I was always waiting for the scenes that regarded the situationship between Eva and the prince of hearts. Despite this, the story moved very quickly and in the last 100 pages te paced quickened even more, with one thing happening after another every chapter. To sum up, I believe this to be an adequate ending for this series, despite some plot twists that weren’t exactly my cup of tea.
