"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
Legendary by Stephanie Garber
Book Two of the Caraval series
Publisher: Flatiron Books
Publication Date: May 29, 2018
Summary (from Goodreads):
The sequel to the New York Times bestselling and #1 IndieNext Pick Caraval, following Scarlett’s younger sister, Tella, on a journey to the empire’s capital to fulfill a dangerous bargain.
Stephanie Garber’s limitless imagination takes flight once more in the colorful, mesmerizing, and immersive sequel to her New York Times bestselling debut novel Caraval.
This year’s Caraval has concluded. Tella is alive—and safe, to her older sister’s relief. But Tella has secrets she has been keeping from Scarlett. Secrets like what Tella promised in exchange for the sisters’ invitations to Caraval in the first place. Secrets about the person to whom these promises were made. And secrets about Julian, the Caraval player who won Scarlett’s heart.
Afraid of revealing the truth to the person who loves her most, Tella runs away to Valenda, the capital of the Empire, to find the mysterious correspondent whom Tella owes. But in the nights leading up to Elantine’s Day, a cross between a masquerade ball, a jubilee, and Caraval, no one is to be trusted . . .
I loved Caraval and I can't wait to read this book. It's a companion sequel which makes me a little sad because I adored Julian and Scarlett, but I'm excited to read Tella's story! I have no doubt it will be amazing.
Yaasss!! Cannot wait to read this one!!!

The first book didn't really work for me, so I don't think I'll be continuing the series. But I hope you enjoy this one!

ReplyDeleteTo be honest I wasn't the biggest fan of Tella in Caraval. BUT that ending has me super curious about her deal so I'm definitely going to pick up Tella's story ;)
