Legendary is love triangle, villain love interest & bargain / deal — sweet (1/5), first-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.

Donatella (Tella) Dragna is pulled back into the magical competition Caraval, this time as the protagonist, with a desperate mission: uncover the true identity of Legend, Caraval's elusive mastermind, in order to repay a dangerous bargain she made with a mysterious criminal. As the game blurs with reality in the glittering empire of Valenda, Tella navigates treacherous Fates, court intrigue, and entanglements with a murderous heir, while secrets about her missing mother — and about Legend himself — threaten everything she thought she knew. Winning means destroying Caraval forever; losing means forfeiting her life.
