Review of 'Carry On' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Presque 4 étoiles, presque. J'ai apprécié la lecture, mais ce n'était pas non plus le roman le plus transcendant. Mais les personnages étaient attachants, et ce côté Harry Potter rempli de pop culture était assez amusant. Cependant le livre prends énormément de temps à se mettre en place, j'ai eu du mal avec les 200 premières pages, mais une fois celles-ci passées j'ai dévoré le reste du livre. Puis je stan complètement Simon & Baz (forcément) :D Bref si vous voulez du Harry Potter un peu plus déjanté, avec un cast assez amusant, des amours passionnels et beaucoup d'humour, foncez.
