I selected this book in order to fulfill the Chosen One prompts in several of my challenges. I discovered this book when I read Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl last year. This is a spinoff of sorts from that book. In Fangirl the characters write fanfiction about a fictional character named Simon Snow and Baz. This book brings those characters and their world to life as the center of the story. It is a similar story to Harry Potter with a bit more frenemies and romantic tension than those books have. I did enjoy this book even if it took me quite a while to read it. I had to turn it in to the library and then got busy with other books as I read and renewed the kindle book from the library. If you are looking for a fantasy book with a bit of a twist at the end this book would be a great read.
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
magical thriller
Generally not the gene I read but I thoroughly enjoyed this boon. The frenemies relationship between Simon and Baz grows through the book. Although there are similarities to Potter this book is very different and intense.
