Finale – Stephanie Garber
Finale by Stephanie Garber My rating: 5 of 5 stars Finale by Stephanie Garber is the third and finale book in her Caraval series. Caraval began the series and was Garber’s debut novel.

Each built upon a foundation of London but developed in completely different fashions. Their…
