The love story between Baz and Simon is very tender and adventurous. They both are like enemies at first, then lovers. But they had a connection from the beginning. Like, Baz always liked him. For simon,

he was worried of Baz when he was not there with him in his room. Baz was missing, he was kidnapped. But Simon was always worried of him.

 

Their first kiss was also so sweet to read. They both were confused. But they both were ready for that kiss. And simon realising, identifying, and accepting himself as he is. It was amazing to read.

I love Penelope or Penny's character. She is a sassy girl. I love her for that. She loves Simon. She cares for him. She's always there for him. I wish I had a penny in my life.
As for Agatha, I don't like her. I don't know what's actually her problem? One time, she's saying she likes Simon and she also wants Baz as her lover.

She was so jealous of Baz and Simon. OMG! I really hated her in that parts.

Overall this is a 5★ read for me. This book will be my second favourite fantasy book ❤️. I waiting to read the second one. This book is actually apt for beginners.

I didn't care that the story was a bit predictable and characters were a bit cliche.
It was so easy to fall in love with Simon Snow and Baz. =)

A cute, lighthearted, quick read that is very similar to Harry Potter, if Harry Potter was a chaotic bisexual who gets with a Draco Malfoy-esque vampire.

So good! Normally I find multi POVs to be a bit tiring, but I liked the pacing and short sections in this book. I liked the characters and romance and friendships.

It felt a bit like Harry Potter, but like if Harry and Draco got together.
