After reading 'Fangirl' I was excited to read this book. How brilliant is it to have a character in one book write this next book? Genius!! At first I was let down. It takes a while to get off the ground, but it's so worth staying with it. Of course, you have to get over the stuff that feels like Harry Potter...they did. And, quickly. As the story progresses, it's like...Harry Potter, who? ...more

'Just when you think you're having a scene without Simon, he drops in to remind you that everyone else is a supporting character in his catastrophe.'

Meta as hell, chapter 61 gets me every. time. The yearning is top tier. ...more

This book was like Harry Potter on crack! I absolutely adored the banter between Penelope, Simon and Baz. Also, Baz and Simon are the cutest! Definitely can’t wait to start the sequel!

🌟Ha sido lo más bonito que he leído desde hace mucho. Los personajes (sobre todo Simon y Baz) eran adorables. Hablando de la relación “Snowbaz”, es preciosa. Los dos son unos imbéciles adorables y solo quieres darles amor en esta vida tan dura que tienen 😢❤️.

🌟Ha sido lo más bonito que he leído desde hace mucho. Los personajes (sobre todo Simon y Baz) eran adorables. Hablando de la relación “Snowbaz”, es preciosa. Los dos son unos imbéciles adorables y solo quieres darles amor en esta vida tan dura que tienen 😢❤️.
Todos los personajes excepto ejem Hechicero ejem son encantadores y los quieres en cierto modo. Sobretodo las ocurrencias de Penny, Simon y Baz. Vivo por este squad 💖.
Aparte de obviamente el hechicero, otro personaje que no me encanta es Agatha. No es que crea que esté mal planteada, solo pienso que no me cae bien. Cosa que no tiene por qué ser mala. Eso sí, me gusta mucho como tiene sus ideales y crea en ellos y decida hacer lo que en realidad ella quiere.
Lo único que le veo malo a esta novela es que hasta que no llega Baz que es como el la página 150, la acción no arranca, pero por el resto es fabuloso.
En resumen, el libro y los personajes y el mundo y todo en general me ha encantado. Ha habido momentos de risa, momentos en los que gritaba de felicidad, momentos de ternura y momentos en los que casi lloro. Una experiencia muy relajente. 💜💜💜

🌟It was the most beautiful thing I've read in a long time. The characters (especially Simon and Baz) were adorable. Speaking of the “Snowbaz” relationship, it is beautiful. They're both adorable dorks and you just want to give them love in this tough life they have 😢❤️.
All the characters except ahem Sorcerer ahem are lovely and you love them in a way. Especially the occurrences of Penny, Simon and Baz. I live for this squad 💖.
Aside from obviously the wizard, another character I don't love is Agatha. It is not that I think it is wrong, I just think that I do not like it. Which does not have to be bad. Of course, I really like how she has her ideals and believes in them and decides to do what she really wants.
The only thing I see wrong with this novel is that until Baz arrives, which is like page 150, the action doesn't start, but for the rest it is fabulous.
In short, I loved the book and the characters and the world and everything in general. There have been moments of laughter, moments when I screamed with happiness, moments of tenderness and moments when I almost cried. A very relaxing experience. 💜💜💜 ...more
