Like the last one this is an intriguing series, but also one I would’ve enjoyed when I was younger and didn’t know how problematic rainbow was. 

This book follows Simon without his magic after the last book with Penelope and Baz as they decide to do a road trip across America. 
Initially intending to be tourists their plans end up transitioning into a rescue mission for their friend from school Agatha (who happens to be Simon’s ex). 

Americas magical world order is very different to the UK in the fact it has little order and a small cult of vampires known as next bloods are trying to take magic from magicians for themselves to “level up”. It’s like a weird fucked up cult MLM and feels kinda silly but overall I did enjoy the trip they all went on and their success in saving their friend so I cannot wait to see where the final book takes me.

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.
