hmgauthier 's review for:
Carry On
by Rainbow Rowell
“I just wanted to tell you that I’m going to carry on. As I am.”
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get into Rowell’s books, a damn shame. I will say, I struggled with the first few pages. The near info dump of names and figuring out the magic system took a little while to compute.
That being said, I loved so much about the story that momentary confusion is canceled out.
A magic system based around the idea that words and phrases/songs have power? Immaculate.
The Remus Lupin x Sirius Black vibes are fabulous.
The ending is so beautifully bittersweet it makes my heart ache.
Also the bisexual representation? Obsessed.
