This book made the rest of the series all come together. I love these characters and I love this universe. I would GLADLY read more. This book has been re-read by my three times in the last two years. I am a huge fan.

Is your ideal novel a book where your favs lay in the bed the whole time talking about their feelings and being cute? Same, actually. And oh boy, this is the book for you.
Simon and Baz are my favs, so they were FOR SURE the highlight of the book, just watching them as “boyfriends-being-boyfriends.” But Shepherd and Penny had SUCH a cute storyline that I’m honestly still laughing about. And Agatha and Niamh! I kind of wish I enjoyed them more, but I was so wrapped up in Simon and Baz’s moments that it was hard to take a break.
I got so scared because there was a lot still unresolved when there was 150 pages or so left, but a lot of hopeful details got thrown in the last 30 pages or so that were really awesome. There are still some moments I wish we got (ie Baz drinking Simon’s blood, Simon coming more to terms about the way the Mage using him has hurt his ability to be intimate) but I suppose that’s what fanfiction is for.
Overall, I loved this book so so so much. My whole SnowBaz obsession came from trying to deal with my ATYD hangover, but now I have such a book hangover from this. There is no solution but to just keep rereading :)

Seriously, I feel like this is a dream of a book, like an amazing meal with a bottomless stomach- I could just inhale more and more of this book and not be filled. Simon and Baz are the cutest cuties. The sweetest sweeties. And they deserved every moment of this book- every healing, redeeming moment that they got after all the trauma they’ve been through. There was emotional growth! And good communication! And cute little bed hangs! And all the things one dreams about in the final installment of an amazing novel.Simon and Baz are my favs, so they were FOR SURE the highlight of the book, just watching them as “boyfriends-being-boyfriends.” But Shepherd and Penny had SUCH a cute storyline that I’m honestly still laughing about.

Endlich bin ich durch mit der wohl größten Enttäuschung des Jahres (bisher). Es war mir wirklich eine Qual!
Meine Kritikpunkte:
* extrem unangenehme Sexszenen zwischen Baz und Simon
* lauter Klischees über England
* Verrat an den Figuren, besonders an Agatha
* zu viele offene Fragen
* zu wenig Plot bei zu vielen Seiten
* ein lachhafter Bösewicht
* zu wenig Bezug zu den früheren Bänden
* generell die Unnötigkeit; "Carry On" hätte ein Einzelband bleiben sollen!

I had to read recaps of the first and second book because I couldn’t remember a thing about them. Fun book and I’m happy with the ending. The plot took a while to really settle in. That was okay. I enjoyed reading about the relationship between Baz and Simon and their struggles.
The whole Sheppard subplot didn’t really interest me tho. Maybe I needed to reread the second book to care more about him.

Oh. Rainbow Rowell. Oh, my. So sweet. I loved loved loved the Epilogue. I need to lead with that because it was so unexpected. And lovely. All of it was just perfect, even when it was imperfect. Cuz people just are. Also, can I get an Amen for characters who aren’t beautiful that still get happily ever afters?! So, in this made up world, it was more real than many other books I’ve read lately. Sigh. I’m both sad that it’s over and so so happy for these book folks. Thanks, Ms. Rowell.
I feel at a loss for words. It is the end of an era in my life. I started reading this trilogy in my sophomore year of high school. I am now in college. This book hit differently than the rest of the series. I almost didn't want to finish this book knowing that I would never be able to read this book for the first time again. Baz and Simon will forever hold my heart they are too sweet. Rainbow really let it all out for this book pulling all the stops and never letting go. I am not the same person who started this series and I will never be again but I am thankful for the books for being there for me.
