This is the second book in the Velveteen Vs. series. Velveteen Vs. started as a series of stories posted on McGuire's blog; these books are compilations of those stories. I really enjoyed this humorous yet heart-felt continuation of the Velveteen stories.
I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook was very well done. The narrator does an awesome job and I would recommend listening to on audiobook if you like audiobooks.
A lot happens in this book and it was great to finally see Velveteen face off with the Super Patriots. I Loved it!
Velveteen is just such a "real" feeling character; I love reading about both her day to day struggles and the awesome superhero stuff she does. I actually pretty much love every single character in this book. McGurie has a way of making even the bad guys interesting and making you engage and sympathize with them.
My only comment would be to remember that this is more of a collection of stories than a continuous novel. It actually makes a pretty good novel but things can get a bit repetitive because McGuire will kind of explain the basics of Velveteen's character at the beginning of each "story".
Things end at a pretty good point, although it looks like Velveteen will potentially be having some more adventures with the Seasons in future installments.
Overall I loved this book even more than the first one. The characters, world, and action are awesome. I would recommend to urban fantasy fans, McGuire fans, and fans of superhero stories.
