This is the second book in the series but has less of the elements that made me enjoy the first one: less witty, less of London, less exciting magic. I agree with other reviews of these books that the plot is a bit jumbled and difficult to follow at times and events can seem unrelated and inconsequential. This wasn’t too bothersome for me, but i won’t be reading the next books because of the other reasons.

The relationship with Simone was uninteresting. His whole “no we mustn’t kill my bootycall because morals” moment at the end just pissed me off. I successfully ignored the Lesley bits in the first book, so the fact that i couldn’t ignore the repeated details of his sexual escapades and the central part they played in the story was irritating. I was here for the adventure/mystery plot!
