I personally loveA Wizard Abroad, but I've always considered myself to be somewhat multi-cultural, and as the majority of my heritage is Irish, it was particularly enjoyable for me.
...of course, Ronan was a definite plus. Who on this planet can resist the yumminess of a bad-boy with an Irish accent...? ^______^
That said, I tend to view AWAb as a transition book. It is the calm before the storm, so to speak. After the adventure that is HW, Nita needs something of a break before diving into the heartbreak that is AWD. Wizard's Holiday was the same. A deep breath, before plunging again. (I'm also slightly bias towards that one, because I've been through an exchange program of my own!)
