My Thoughts
I read this for a summer reading challenge the Summer of 2024 to fulfil my “Banned Book” and “A book with a purple cover” categories. I knew this book existed since it features the characters the main character was writing fan fiction about in “Fan Girl” but I hadn’t read the mainline book itself. And I have to say I did enjoy it. It wasn’t what I thought it was going to be, but I think that was a good thing in this respect. It doesn’t follow the normal “magical school” tropes that you would normally see in something like this, and that’s fine too. I think I felt the ending needed a little more to it than what we were given. It didn’t just end with no resolution, but it also didn’t feel abrupt. I think I wanted to have more from the characters before the story ended. It felt like we were just getting started to really learn about both of them and then it was over. I’m not sure if I’ll continue on with the series, but I think this might be a one-and-done read for me.
Carry On
