Here's the thing: I really tried to ignore the hype going into this one. I had my doubts. I loved Fangirl, but hadn't been thrilled with the Simon/Baz excerpts. They were boring; I didn't really care. So I wasn't sure I would pick this one up. 
 But I did, and holy crap, I loved it. 
 This was so much better than I expected. It's close enough to HP to be similar, but also different enough to hold its own and not completely bore me. I was invested in Simon and Baz's story, and the secondary characters were well developed. 
 And that twist towards the end. WOW. Not what I was expecting, and I LOVED IT. 
 I would totally read this again. I may read it again soon. It was just so good, and so unexpected. I still don't buy the whole Harry/Draco ship, but I am on board with Simon and Baz. Give me more.
