I really, really like A Wizard Alone. And I agree that both Alone and Abroad make sense after the sturm-und-drang of the books immediately preceding them.

Hah, that's a good point about the style of American vs. Irish wizardry, one I'd already forgotten, and I agree it definitely shows in the pacing of the book. It's also interesting comparing the "going to war" motifs in here with Wizards at War, though I don't think I have any terribly brilliant remarks to make about it. I do think Ronan comes off much better in Wizards at War, and I know that part of my displeasure at the ending of Abroad involves his role in it.
