nmkelsey 's review for:
Any Way the Wind Blows
by Rainbow Rowell
What an ending to this fantastic trilogy! The groundwork was laid in Fangirl and to have expanded upon it, Rainbow did a fantastic job. I had begun Carry On and Wayward Son before Fangirl and felt lost, but how the story progressed filled in all the missing pieces.
Simon and Baz's relationship heats up in their final installment, but not everything is sunshine and good times. Ah, but such is the way when Simon Snow is involved.
Simon is still coming to terms with his lost magic but is finally coming to accept this. He's settling down, moved into his own flat, then this wrench comes out of the shadows and flings itself at his head. The wrench in question goes by the name Smith Smith-Richards, the new Chosen One.
Smith-Richards has convinced himself that what he's doing is destined to be. A miracle worker, he's been able to give even the worst of mages more magic than they ever dreamed! His following is very cult-like: secret meetings and a commune within the walls of an abandoned orphanage, "HOME FOR WAIFS" adorning the lintel. But, of course, his enchantment comes with a price.
Upon seeing Simon attending a meeting, his over-inflated ego urges Smith-Richards to do the impossible: return magic to the Simon Snow.
Meanwhile, Baz is dealing with a mistake in the past that returns to haunt him, and it is crushing him. Add that to dealing with his step mum, Daphne, joining Smith-Richards' following and you see him in a hole he can't seem to climb from. Everything is weighing on Baz, and the icing on the shit cake is Simon lying to him, which is not okay.
Penelope's wrapped up in fixing the ink on Shepherd's arm and steering him clear of her mum. She's got herself wrapped deep in this Normal, and I honestly love it. They're adorable together.
And Agatha, I honestly thought we were done with her, is left dealing with Watford's goats. There's so much going on there that I'd be giving too much away if I elaborated further. She does find herself a new love interest though that, until recently, I've not been fond of, but after giving it some thought and with the events that have transpired it does make sense. If you've already read Any Way the Wind Blows, you know. I felt as though Rowell thought it had to happen, but giving it more thought and the way I have approached this new aspect of my own love life, I can understand it.
Any Way the Wind Blows wraps up all the loose ends, bringing the Simon and Baz storyline to a nice close. And, being a fan of classic rock, I really do love the titles in the series; they somehow fit perfectly with the story. I enjoyed this read.
