The characters make this novel; you'll miss SnowBaz and the World of Mages the moment you close the cover.
The unique form of magic displayed within Carry On felt fresh as well, and the Potter-esque insider-jokes were clever at every turn.
I didn't much care for the resolution, and by that I mean I didn't care one way or another how it all turned out. The villain never grabbed me, so by the end I wasn't interested in understanding how the Insidious Humdrum created his dead spots, or if Simon Snow was a baddie or a goodie. All I cared about was SnowBaz, AKA the terrible boyfriends, and Hermione Granger of the Tumblr generation, Penelope Bunch.
I would absolutely read another Simon Snow novel; I might read six more if Rowell chose to write them!
Finally, nothing will ever be better, cuter, or elicit more squeals from me than Baz Grimm-Pitch holding his boyfriend's tail. Nothing.

This was a reread, and I had forgotten quite a bit of the main plot, so that was fun to experience again.
This time around I knew Baz wouldn't make an appearance until like 150 pages in, so I spent less time wondering where he was and more time just enjoying the story going on.
Talking about Baz, he is such a smitten kitten and I love it!
I think all the main characters are great, and have their own personalities. The ending made me even more excited about Wayward Son because again, I had pretty much forgotten most of the story apart from the big main things going on.
I would have loved a bit more Baz and Simon interaction, but the fact we're getting a second book makes me not so bothered that we didn't get much here (take note Aristotle and Dante!! When is that bloody sequel coming out!!!!)

This book is everything I love about Harry Potter, except GAY. What more could a girl ask for?
4.5
Lo ame y me sorprendió un montón como prácticamente nunca me aburrió.
Mi único problema creo que fue el final, si bien me gustó, me molesta como simon sigue sin conocer la verdad de todo.
Espero que eso se resuelva en el siguiente libro, aunque la verdad no se si lo voy a leer, ya que no escuche las mejores cosas.

I was unsure about this at first but I raced through!
