A review by brynn_books
Carry on by Rainbow Rowell
4.0
It was a little slow at first. It was a little hard to get into the story and very confusing. I was just like, “What is going on??” But then the story picks up and I was just thrown into this whirlwind of emotions.
The magic system was also kind of confusing, it took me basically the whole book to understand it and I still don’t get it.
Towards the end of the book, there was just plot twist after plot twist after plot twist that was so beautifully executed and I loved everything about. It was like I was getting whiplash.
I loved the dynamic between Penny and Simon. I loved their friendship and just seeing a great friendship represented in this book was awesome and I love how it was a platonic friendship and how nothing romantic was going on between them.
I do have to say that Agatha annoyed me several times throughout this book and she was probably my least favorite character but I didn’t care as much because I was just focused on Penny, Simon and Baz.
I try not to take this too seriously. It kind of reads like poorly written fanfiction. But I love Baz and Simon (especially Baz). The worst part of this book was the first 100 or so pages before Baz showed up. That part was so frustrating to read. Overall, this was a pretty average read.
