4/5. Continuation of the series begun with Carry On. The first book was magic school adventure with heavy Harry/Draco vibes to the queer romance. The second book was post school U.S. road trip with dysfunctional established relationship (don't ask me anything else about it, I read it three weeks after Casterbrook was born and have close to zero memory of it). This one is much more functional established relationship back home with bonus plot about what it is to be chosen and unchosen and the young adult struggle to find oneself in the wreckage of a war and betrayals. Also, there is a cute F/F subplot involving goats that I enjoyed, even though it didn't quite have enough space to breathe.
She left enough lose ends here to support another book, and I'm still here for it. There's a lot of we're together and now the hard work starts to this book, which is squarely my jam, and I am not sick of these two being sarcastic and deeply devoted. The plot is exactly what you think it is from the first inkling, and the twist at the end is thoroughly telegraphed, but eh, I'm not really here for that stuff.
