"He is our greatest threat. And you are out greatest hope."
3.5 stars.
Plot-wise, everything about this book is VERY predictable. Like, ridiculously so. But I still enjoyed it all the same. It was cliché, incredibly absurd at times (one of the spells literally is "Need a break? Have a KitKat", no joke!"
It took me sometime to actually get into it (not that much, but i needed some getting used to). The writing is pretty simple, nothing really exceptional. But the characters are where it's at. Especially Baz, Penelope and Simon. I absolutely adored them and they're 100% the reason this book is worth it. Didn't really like Agatha, she was annoying but who cares...
In conclusion, I can't wait for the sequel!

I liked this book but at the same time it felt like there was a lot missing from it? Like everything could have been more

Adorable story, loved the characters but I wish there was more of a plot. Couldn’t fully get into this book but I know some people really love it.

Este libro me lo zampé en un día, no tiene gran cosa más que ser un fanfic Drarry pero con algunas diferencias (no muchas). Me gusta mucho el enemies to lovers porque nunca fueron enemies y siempre fueron lovers pero son todos unos tontos. Que divertido es.
El mayor problema del libro es que el mundo mágico está fatal construído, te explican una mierda sobre la historia de los personajes y tienes la sensación de que llegas a mitad de la película cuando empiezas a leer. Pero oye que es sensillito y tranquilito.

There was even more to enjoy in this gem of a book on a reread. With [b:Fangirl|16068905|Fangirl|Rainbow Rowell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1355886270l/16068905._SX50_.jpg|21861351] a tad further from my mind (albeit always close to my heart!), it was easier to read as a its own self contained story rather than merely an ambitious, deeply meta experiment.
Even through that lens, of course, this is an intentionally meta book, with the primary plot tension coming from how it subverts or fulfills our expectations of the familiar “Chosen One” story.
It’s a high degree of difficultly, introducing the reader at the narrative equivalent of the 7th season of "Buffy" or the 7th book of Harry Potter, but Rainbow Rowell manages to pull it off with her signature mix of quippy dialogue, heartfelt emotional beats, and deeply charming characters. That surplus of charm more than make up for the quibble here and there I had about the pacing.
