I always enjoyed reading JQ. Her books have silly humor and wit which doesn't need me to really concentrate.
I liked Daphne in the first half of the book and felt happy that she was getting back to her original state by the end.
Simon could have been a little better if he stopped his self-pity but well, I guess having an idiot for a father does that to people.
Anthony was so protective of his sister, it got a little annoying, given that he is the hero of the next book.
Violet, I totally loved her. She always made me smile.
