Review:
Simon did not get his magic back! I find this second book even more upsetting than the ending of the first one. Not only are his powers gone (which makes for a boring character), but Simon and baz’s relationship is all messed up. I still like Penelope because she is relatable, but I did not like the entire plot for this book. I think it lost some of its fun when Simon lost his powers. Also, why are his wings blue on the cover but red inside!! So many things wrong with this book, and overall I was disappointed. I don’t think I would reread this, mainly because it was bad. But I think I would read the third one to see if it could redeem itself.
