![]() ![]() Is he a Normal? A Mage? Is he even worthy of Baz and Penelope? If he isn’t the Chosen One, could it be someone else? Simon spends so much of this book trying to figure out who he is if not the Chosen One. It explores what it’s like to be exceptional, and then to lose everything that made you exceptional. The Simon Snow series is a story about chosen one stories. Yes, this book is funny and entertaining and so, so horny, but it’s also a really good exploration of how trauma affects your relationships. Every single exchange between Baz and Fiona? Incredible. That whole scene when Baz and Simon first went hunting rats together? Comedy gold. Simon and Baz bounce off each other so well, and every combination of characters is guaranteed to produce incredible quotes. For some reason, I always forget just how good the dialogue is in these books until I’m actually reading them. ![]()
