Carry On
“ Talk to Dad at Xms break. OK to wait that long? Ask him to send notes?
“Why all of them?” I ask.
“Hmm?”
“Why all the wars? Why did they all start with the vampire raids?”
“The war with the dark things started there,” she says. “That should be obvious. I mean, mages and vampires have never got on—we need Normals alive, and they need them dead. But invading Watford, that was an act of war. And it was the first real attack by the Humdrum, too.”
“What about the war with the Old Families?”
“Well, the Mage’s reforms started then,” she says.
“I wish there were just one war,” I say. “And one enemy that I could get my head around.”
“Wow,” Penny says, finally turning away from the board, “what are you going to do with yourself now that you don’t have Baz?”
“I still have Baz.”
“Not as an enemy.”
“We’re just having a truce,” I say.
“A magic-sharing truce.”
“Penny.” I frown and lie back on my bed. I’m knackered.
I feel her climbing up next to me.

Baz- man. Baz is something else. The way Rowell describes is just mind googling. I frickin' ship Simon and Baz.

How do I describe this book? It's legit one of the best gay books I've ever read, and Baz. Holy frickin Satan, I love him so much.

Quality book — I love the way Rowell writes love interests in general, but specifically Baz. It's so fresh and intriguing, and it feels real while still being magical. Enchanting.Write Review:
