I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, this story. Though it took me about 100 pages to move past how uncomfortably H*rry P*tter it was, but I enjoyed every single thing once I'd settled that emotion/connection.
This story follows Simon, "The Chosen One", in an adventure to save his magickal world. Forming friendships with people he never thought he could, and learning about himself on the journey. The representation of diversity, mental health & politics was spot on — not over dramatic, not generalised or depressing, just right. Comforting, really.

It's gay and queer and I love that. But why does the author completely ignore the concept of bisexuality.
