Carry On's genre is fiction and has a total of 528 pages. It was written by Rainbow Rowell, a very talented author.

Carry On has a familiar setting to ¨Harry Potter¨ which I thought was a creative way to go. The story starts off with our main character, eighteen-year-old Simon Snow, who is an orphan but is also known as ¨the chosen one¨, he is heading back to his childhood academy for magic people just like himself. Once arrived, he meets up with his lifelong friend Penolope Bunce who is a powerful witch herself and they dwell over there last year at Watford Academy.

Simon is the heir to The Mage who vows to keep him safe and away from the grasp of the ¨Humdrum¨ who has been tearing down the magic world piece, by piece and on top of Simon's responsibility as the chosen one he is dealing with the rocky relationship with his girlfriend, Agatha Lovegood.

While the ongoing war is happening we are introduced to an interesting vampire boy Tyrannus Basilton Pitch or ¨Baz¨, who is announced to be missing which is odd to Simon so he goes on a hunt looking for him but gets nowhere.

Baz and Simon have also been arch enemies since their first year but little does Simon know that Baz has been dealing with romantic feelings for him. Fast forward through the book, Simon and Baz team up to find the culprit of Bazs late mothers death to bring justice to her.

Through all the war and uncovering secrets we soon find out more about Simon's past and get to see Simon and Baz realize they may have different feelings between them than just hatred and despise.

This book was one of the best books by Rainbow Rowell that I've read. The whole of this book was that you can't let others write your destiny, you write your own. It gives drama, fantasy, and an endearing enemies to lovers romance and a lot of self reflection. It was truly a magical book and one I highly recommend to young adult readers.
