And that I believe, if an audiobook is excellent it adds to the overall experience, and Carry On was fantastic on audio. What I’m saying is, that I was SPOILED by the audiobook. Although I missed the British narration, and Baz’s sarcastic wit which came across beautifully on the audio, the story still pulled me in. Set in the same world described in Fangirl, the series mixes a complex blend of paranormal romance with action and adventure. BAD CORINA!!! But I was mostly interested in the interaction between Baz and Simon, so I started skipping and skimming.īut the overall story was as cute and adorable as it was when I read it the first time, nothing has changed there. From the New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell comes an epic young adult fantasy series, Simon Snow. Even though I was still as into the story as the first time, I started to skip POV’s especially Lucy’s and the Mage’s.

Interestingly enough, there was a difference in how I experienced the book vs the audiobook. It takes less time than an audiobook, and I already had the paperback on my shelf. Now, for my reread I decided to read the regular book.

It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story – but far, far more monsters.ĬARRY ON BY RAINBOW ROWELL ALSO I HAD THE BEST TIME LISTENING TO THE AUDIO.Īnd it’s one of my recommendations when it comes to overall audio enjoyment. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here - it’s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon’s infuriating nemesis didn’t even bother to show up.Ĭarry On – The Rise and Fall of Simon Snow is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. Wayward Son is the fourth young adult novel written by Rainbow Rowell, published in 2019.The story follows Simon Snow and his friends a year and a half after the end of the first book of the trilogy, Carry On.It explores their young adult lives and how they navigate them now that Simon destroyed the biggest threat to the World of Mages, the universes British sect of magic. His mentor’s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there’s a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon’s face. Half the time, Simon can’t even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he’s probably right. Perhaps best known for her young adult fiction Eleanor & Park, Fangirl, and Carry On, she has also achieved success with her adult books Attachments and Landline. Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who’s ever been chosen. Rainbow Rowell Books While Rainbow Rowell writes in a variety of different genres and styles, her books are distinctive for their ability to both break your heart and piece it back together again.

This review will be a mix of regular review and audiobook review, since I listened and read it, and both experiences were different from each other. I’m finally sitting down to write my review for Carry On.
