I easily stepped back into the world of Simon Snow when I picked this up. I enjoyed having an adventure with them, and Penelope, just trying to survive in America. This lead to further world building and eventually there was a medium bad that they had to fight. It did feel that the fight scene went fairly quickly - however, I may just be comparing to other similar fantasy novels. I've always enjoyed the multiple POV that Rowell writes and the way that this leads to the reader getting more information with each POV or sometimes we get some dramatic irony. I've already got the 3rd book on hold because I need to know where this cliff hanger goes!
