4.5 stars 
 Alright first of all: I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! 
 Almost everything about this book is perfect. The dialogue was amazing and the characters and the relationships between them were so realistic. Simon and Penny loved each other so much but in a platonic way, the love-hate realationship of Simon and Baz, how Agatha fit into the group (or didn't), Simon's trust in and doubt about the Mage. Everything worked so well. I didn't expect the story to be that complex. I thought it was just like a contemporary novel but with magic but NO it was so fucking good! The only reason why I'm not giving this a full 5 stars is because I felt like it dragged a bit at the beginning and because not once was the word bisexual mentioned in this book when it clearly fits the character perfectly. But everything else was fantastic. Also: Chapter 61!!!
