For Simon, this is a huge struggle and it’s something he doesn’t want to deal with and for a while it seems the easiest thing is to just…run away. He has to rely on them to spell away the wings and tail he gave himself, so that he can go out in public. It’s a huge part of their everyday lives. Simon is dealing with the fact that he killed the Mage, that he no longer has magic and because of that, where does he fit into this world now? His boyfriend and his best friend are two very powerful mages. Both Simon and Baz are traumatised, for different reasons and they’re grappling with a lot of things. It gets a lot worse before it gets better but things were never going to be resolved easily and even after things start to improve, there are still hard moments. Thankfully I didn’t have to wait four years for this book but it was with even more anticipation and trepidation that I picked this one up (same day it arrived) to see where things were going to go. Mostly sadness, for Simon and Baz and the way they were at the end.

It was four years before the sequel, Wayward Son came out and I had a lot of feelings upon finishing that book. And I was surprised just how much I loved it. I wasn’t sure it’d translate from the background story in Fangirl, to actually thriving on its own. I remember that originally, I was a bit reluctant to read Carry On. About catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest.Ĭarry On was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings. And Agatha?

And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong.
