 This middle book to the Simon Snow series feels almost entirely character driven. The plot isn't that important in the end of it all, as the group have gone off to America on a classic road-trip... you know, if you add in magic and vampires and having to save Las Vegas from evil. Just your usual road trip shenanigans.

No, but this one really does focus on the aftermath of the first book's plot. Have you ever wondered what it's like when you're the chosen one, and now your purpose in life is... well, over? because wow, this one hurts a lot. That being said, as an American it was hilarious at so many points. 

The characters, both old and new are wonderful and endearing beyond belief. This book is the perfect "filler episode" between books one and three, and really lends to understanding the characters better as a whole. That being said, I did like the other two just a smidge more.
