Carry On is the first book I've read and finished in about 3 years and I'm so glad it was this book. It has these well known elements like "the chosen one" and an enemies to lovers trope and it manages to still be so different and unique. I think the way magic is described to feel is so distinctive and so well done you can imagine it perfectly for yourself. The relationships and character development throughout the whole story is so beautiful to read. Honestly, I have no idea how to write book reviews but this book now means so much to me now, I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I really enjoyed this book, but it took a little while to pick up. The “plot twists” were a little predictable sometimes but in a good way. I love the way the magic works in this book and I wish we got to see more of it

like when Baz uses “On love’s light wings” but he can only use it bc he knows certain things and is in love. I wish we had more examples of that
