This was still fun, but not *quite* as enjoyable for me as book one. I still really enjoyed the banter and shenanigans between Wally and Bez. They are just so unexpectedly adorable together. Bez is just hilarious. And I will always love a good nerdy character, like Wally. I think it was the over arching plot that just didn't live up to the first book. It was still interesting and intriguing, and I found myself wanting to know what was going to happen, so it is still good, just different. All in all, it's a fun reading experience with great characters. I had a good time, I just liked book one fractionally more.  I am definitely curious about where Wally and Bez are headed with all their new changes. This magical world is well-developed and engaging, that's for sure.
