Carry On

"Oh my gosh! I can’t even…I love Baz and Simon so much! And Penny…and ofc Lucy😍 "

"⚠️SPOILER WARNING ⚠️ OK. The first book in this series was good, but the two books to follow literally made me hate this trilogy. The first book was perfect. Only a few loose ends that need to be tied up and should’ve been tied up in the second book and better explained in the third. but no, they took an unnecessary road trip in America, and the only good thing that came out of that was Shepard (love him sm, literally my favorite character). But the thing that really made me angry about this series is that in the third book they took less than two chapters to explain the biggest plot twist in the first book also in the third there was so many unnecessary side plots that could’ve easily been solved, but instead took the whole book to figure it all out. But overall the world building, romance(EXEPT FOR BAZ AND SIMON IN THE LAST TWO BOOKS 🤮), and characters were amaze, and I love recommending the first book people, but I always warn them about the books next to come because they’re just SO BAD."

"So cute! Didn’t know I wanted Gay Harry Potter until I read this. Absolutely adorable. "

"So romantic cute and fun!!"

"I love Rainbow Rowell’s writing style, I find it very flow-y, and it's very easy to read. The characters become so distinct in my head. Carry on wasn't the exception. I loved the mystery, the characters and the romance. And there is a friendship aspect that I really liked as well. "

"Wasn’t for me. I couldn’t stand the writing style"

"Really cute book on the romance side!!!! Super exiting too had so plot twists that weren’t expected!!!!! Totally recommend! Very gay🏳️‍🌈 "

"I enjoyed reading this a lot! I don't think I've read any other fantasy book with such well written lgbtq+ representation (by which I mean a character exploring their identity, since most fantasy books have gay characters who are already out and proud, and it's not really a part of the story). The ending felt rushed and it was a little confusing to me, but it was still a great read overall."

"i think when i'd read this book previously, i only really cared about simon and baz. they are what has stuck in my brain in the years since i read it, so the first hundred or so pages this time around, i was bored waiting for baz to finally show up. but the other plotlines took me by surprise. i put a lot more thought to the political implications of the mage’s actions and this war. i was sick to my stomach reading lucy's story. i appreciate it differently now, more wholely. though i do think its many perspectives get confusing, and it does very much feel like the finale to a long series, in that there seems to be so much more that the characters and the author know that i’m not let in on."

"A fantastically queer love letter to the genre while still exploring new avenues and turning our old favorite tropes on their head."
