  Garber winds up her Caraval trilogy with the same combination of Harlequin-style romance, magical card games, political power plays, and non-stop action that made the previous two titles so popular. The Fates, once-imprisoned in a deck of cards, have been released into the world with terrifying results. Alternating chapters from Scarlett's and Tella's points of view provide differing windows into this richly imagined fantasy world, as the pair work out their romantic and political entanglements amid wonderful descriptions of magical period clothing and breathtakingly handsome young men. Using the notes and letters embedded throughout the text, readers will be caught up trying to solve various mysteries along with the two sisters. Garber also includes a glossary of Fates and Terms, useful in establishing the history and practice of fortune-telling magic. There's far too much backstory for this book to stand alone, but series fans will enjoy the plentiful surprises in the conclusion to this tale of two sisters who are as daring in politics as they are in love.
