I loved the story and the spells. The romance was both hot and sweet. Looking forward to seeing where these characters go.

This book reminded me how GOOD YA fantasy could be, and was one of the first representations of queer people in fantasy that I remember seeing as a teenager. It holds a special place in my heart.

it's like, this book is probably the only reason im gonna fail in all my exams and ,,,ngl im,, it was so worth it (wasting my time, i mean) (not failing) (nothinf is worth failing) like goddammit [sigh] this is the kind of book people lose their minds over, the kind of book that started my obsession with books in the first place. jfc.
i don't even know where to start? when i started the book first, it reminded me too much (very, very much) of harry potter... which frankly, was very annoying...where is the originality? ...and then it started developing its own plotline and.. holy pancakes on a maccaroni; what the actual hell. i loved it so much,, every page,, every character , i couldn't stop reading it. like literally couldn't. the plot was so [tears all my hair out] ugh, amazing and the characters [looks at baz] [looks at simon] .. [whispers] my children my poor babies my little cinnamon roll, too good, too pure for this world ,,,,tyrannus basilton pitch,,,,,, [cries] [screams] [dies] i love you somuch ososososoos much i want to tattoo your name on my face and paint it on my room walls and scream it to the void u are worthy u are the love of my life u are beautiful. [ugly whale noises]
SIMON!!! there's never been a main character (protagonist?) (antagonist?) like simon snow rip me off a volcano wall i love you i love you so much i love your food eating habits and your obsession with baz and the way you smile i love everyone so much holy avocado ,,,
the mage,,,,,, what do i even do with the mage [insert anger over his name like wtf would you name THE MAGE fishing ""davy""" like why would you even do that why can't you love yourself] like????,,?,???? also he's beautiful but he's so creepy ...andthat only makes me love him more????which is weird but you know *classic hamna* [falls in love with all the freaks] dammit

neni's review against another edition
Was intrigued by the concept and the cover but absolutely hated the writing style. I understand its probably a choice considering it's first person narrated but it feels very much like early 2000s style wattpad fanfiction and nothing seems to happen in it. Not for me

El tema principal del libro es un mundo de hechiceros (muy parecido al de Harry Potter) que se ve amenazado por una fuerza oscura que deja hoyos negros sin magia en cada lugar que aparece. El personaje principal es el mago más poderoso que existe y está destinado por la “profecía” a ser el elegido para salvar al mundo de los magos de la extinción de la magia.
El personaje principal, Simon, comienza en el libro ya sabiendo que es mago, y sabiendo que es “el elegido” y sólo está yendo por la vida haciendo lo que se supone que debe hacer. Sin embargo, las cosas se complican y tiene que enfrentarse a algo que él nunca pensó iba a suceder. Durante toda la novela, en los recuerdos de Simon, puedes ir conociendo su historia y también su personalidad a través de las perspectivas de los demás personajes. Y a lo ultimo también conoces cosas que todavía ni el mismísimo Simon sabe de él mismo.
He encontrado a los personajes, en su mayor parte, tridimensionales. Me refiero a que están muy bien caracterizados y desenvueltos. No obstante, ahora pensando sobre ellos, siento que Simón fue un personaje un poco inmóvil, y con eso quiero decir que no había mucho detrás. No obstante eso era parte de la trama y creo que dónde más lo vimos crecer fue en su sexualidad. Por otro lado, Baz fue un encanto. Se supo muchísimo sobre su vida, su familia, sus ideales y sus sentimientos. Y los demás personajes también tuvieron cierto desarrollo a partir de los que se conoce de ellos en un principio y como terminan sus vida al final del libro.

I LOVE LOVE Fangirl. I loved her writing Simon + Baz fan fic. But I could not get into the “original” story.
