Carry On

[3.7] Loved this and hated this. Interesting take on a magic system that uses metaphors and common culturally-known phrases as spells. It's got a nice amount of lore general background info without being overwhelming. I've never read Harry Potter but I saw the movies and it's definitely rockin' a cool Harry Potter vibe.

This all being said. I take a lot of issue with the relationship that develops between Simon and Baz. It reeks of Stockholm Syndrome. Baz is a total piece of shit to Simon throughout their time at school. I don't know if I'm a bad reader or if I forgot, but I can't think of any clear moment of redemption or character development. I think Baz is trash right up to the end. The Saz/Bimon ship shit ain't, wasn't, nor is healthy, and we shouldn't be glorifying it.
