booksny 's review for:

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
3.0
adventurous mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Pros:
  • Easy to read prose
  • Interesting magical system
  • Fun to pick out the bits inspired by Harry Potter
Cons
  • Agatha was designed from start to finish to be an incredibly pointless character
  • Ebbs and Nicodemus felt unsatisfyingly underutilized
  • No consequences experienced for the Phillipa Stanton debacle
  • Goblin hostility was mentioned once at the very start, leading me to anticipate them showing up again...and they just fizzled out as nonissues
