Quintessential YA fantasy-romance with a delightful magic system, fan-fiction style dialogue and lovable characters. This was a nostalgia read for me, I wanted something nonserious and funny and this was the perfect choice. Bonus points for gay boys. :)

*I have not read Fangirl first - you don't need to in order to read about Simon Snow*
I absolutely loved this book! Didn't expect much coming into it, just thought it would satisfy my thirst for fantasy and gay romance, but it proved to be more than that. The story was interesting and kept me on edge, and I loved the way things were dealt with in this book, very much so.
It was an interesting take on the "Chosen One" narrative, and although the little gestures to the Harry Potter Series, this is still an original story set apart for other books in this genre.I recommend this book for some heart, excitement, great story, and great characters!
