Simon Snow just wants to relax and savour his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest and his mentor keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he’ll be safe. Simon can’t even enjoy the fact that his room-mate and longtime nemesis is missing, because he can’t stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you’re the most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and savour anything.

Based on the characters Simon and Baz who featured in Rainbow Rowell’s bestselling novel Fangirl, Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story – but far, far more monsters.

I thought this book was amazing because it's not your typical book. There's lots of twists and turns and to my surprise the main character wasn't the most likable character there. My favourite character there was Baz because even though hes a vampire, he's actually really cool. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy.

I really liked the book. It seemed a spin off of Harry Potter, but it has a completely different concept. Also it has LGBTQ+ characters which is amazing as we need more of those in modern books to represent the LGBTQ+ community! The book also questions a lot about what's right or wrong - and how knowledge is power and that power can destroy us if not handled carefully! Fabulous read!
