5.0

I loved this sequel to Carry On, perhaps more than the first book! I enjoyed seeing what happened to the heroes after they saved the world, and how they were affected by that experience. I also have a soft spot for the Odyssey-esque journey story that utilizes the strengths and exposes the weaknesses of each of the characters.
Simon and Baz's strained relationship was frustrating (c'mon you guys, just communicate!) but I did love the dramatic irony created by the shifting points of view. The cliffhanger ending made me excited for the third book to come out this summer!
