Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

5.0

I can’t imagine that this book would exist if JKRowling hadn’t come first. But unlike a simple parody, Carry On is entirely its own thing. The magic works differently, the wizarding world is different, the feel is different. The characters are similar enough that you can’t help but compare them, but they are also entirely different. I loved Fangirl and I loved this, although I’m not sure I understood 100% of what happened to the Humdrum. Looking forward to the sequel.

Edited for re-read March 2021- I still love this book and these characters. I think I understood a lot more of the nuances this time. “I choose you” in context toward the end has to be one of the sweetest declarations of love ever.
