The second in the trilogy about Simon Snow and Baz of the Watford School of Magicks. It's been about a year and half since Simon Snow defeated the humdrum and fell from grace as "The Chosen One." His friend Penelope suggests that they take a road trip in America to visit their other friend Agatha who now lives in California. Along the way they run into trouble at a Renaissance Faire and encounter a vampire cult. I wish I liked this more because I love Rainbow Rowell but, if I'm being honest, it's just okay for me. It has fun things but it really drags in the middle and I was disappointed in the develop in the relationship between Simon and Baz. There is a lot of angst. Overall, a disappointing sequel.
