Carry On (Simon Snow, #1)

by Rainbow Rowell

He smiles, and he’s made of trouble. We should have dropped him in the Thames in a bag of stones. We should have left him out for the fairies.

Fiona is another character who makes me laugh, even as she’s breaking my heart. (It must be a Pitch family trait.) I liked how Baz’s relationship with Fiona shows another side of him. He’s already more grown up than her, in some ways. And their relationship is so much about the loss they share – Baz’s mother. Fiona was so much fun to write that I brought her back in a big way in Any Way the Wind Blows.
