It's the last year of school at Watford School of Magicks, and nothing is going the way it should. Simon Snow's mentor is ignoring him, and in turn, Simon is avoiding his girlfriend, or maybe she's his ex-girlfriend now. To top it all off, Simon is more preoccupied with his missing roommate and nemesis, Baz, instead of worrying about how he can barely perform spells or any magic at all without exploding like a bomb. And yet, Simon knows he is the "chosen one" who must defeat the Insidious Humdrum, a monstrous creature who is literally sucking magic out of the world. So why is he only ever concerned about Baz?
Carry On continues the fan fiction begun in Rainbow Rowell's
Fangirl, and although it closely resembles J.K. Rowling's world of Harry Potter, Rowell's characters, monsters, spell casting, and numerous other details are utterly unique. Readers who are unfamiliar with Harry Potter and other fantastic universes may feel unsettled by the lack of explanations and background, but for aficionados of fanfic and fantasy literature in general, this book is a welcome addition.
