The story was very self-contained and didn’t necessarily need a sequel. Always Baz).Ī follow-up book was a thing I dreamed about happening but I never honestly expected it. It was a deeply personal book for many reasons and I fell in love with the world and its characters (especially Baz.

He just needs to see himself in a new light… What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch?
