Oh my god, this book was insane! The story, the characters, the setting, everything. I fell in love all over again with these characters when I read this book. 

'You were the sun, and I was crashing into you.' I love how we were able to explore Baz and Simon's relationship more deeply in this book and this quote sums it up for me.

Overall, a masterpiece and I cannot wait to read the last book.

It starts a little slow and oddly with a contemporary lit vibe rather than a fantasy one, but the last two thirds really picked up.

I have mixed feelings about this one. I am not sure it was what I had expected after reading the blurb. 

The thing I am sure of is that I enjoyed the sequel slightly more than Carry On. I think that is because of the faster pacing and the more varied scenery of the american desert, lousy motels and sin's city itself. 

I found it intrigueing, but I missed more of what was promised in the blurb about Baz and Simon figureing out their relationship and themselves. Other than that, the characters just felt kind of distant from each other and there were scenes wich didn't seem necessary to the plot. I also didn't feel like I got as much out of the ending as I hoped for while reading.
