4.5

After reading Carry On, I decided to go to the book store and instantly buy the next two books.

And as fun as the beginning of the book was, unfortunately, the ending left me a bit disappointed.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it was extremely enjoyable and delightful to read. I still adore this book series and characters.

Buuuut, after all 300 pages, I don't know, the ending left me just a bit empty and disappointed. Like it was all leading up to something, and then the author was like "actually, you need to read another 500 pages to get to that something"

Still, extremely fun, love the story, adore the characters.

5.0

 I highly recommend this series because it's hilarious.

Simon Snow is a parody of the fantasy genre that follows a group of friends who have recently graduated (or dropped out) of wizard school. In this book, they decide to go on a road trip across the US because they need a vacation from constantly saving the wizarding world. Of course nothing on the trip goes as planned.

This series is brilliant because of how average the characters are. They're normal people in their early 20s who just happen to be wizards. They mess up their relationships and make impulsive decisions. They're insecure. They're not very good at saving each other from danger. It's a refreshing take on the genre. These characters aren't heroes. They're just kids with magic. And dragon wings.
