In theory this book should have been very good and it was horrible but it was really hard to get through.

Honestly, I'm thinking 4.5 stars. I wasn't wholly satisfied with the ending. But I still really liked it!

Solid 4/5 loved the ending although it was slightly arrupt

Wayfarer is one of the most beautiful, emotional reads for January, at least for me. I was very anxious after the ending of Passenger to learn what had happened to both Etta and Nick as also find out how they would stop Ironwood from messing up the entire entity of time and space.

There are lots of travels back and forth through time and despite having lots of action scenes, emotional meetings and a new threat Alexandra Bracken delivers a full fledged world building which feels unique in its own entity. Not to mention the new characters who depsite even having small or big influence into the story, they are also fully written with their own powers and flaws.

The book is really big; actually it felt like reading a second and a third book together, since Etta and Nic stay away from each other for some time. But their time away strengthens their bond and their love for each other. I felt too much espacially for Nick who had to deal with many moral issues as also his pain from the past.

The ending was very satisfying and equally sweet. It's a hopeful one, which I hope it will be built upon the trust and the love the main characters have for each other. Alexandra Bracken's recent book is stunning and there are no more words to describe how much this book deserves to be made into a movie (too!).

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I think it fell a little flat compared to the first one but overall still fun. 

There was a time I considered DNFing because it was so slow and nothing was really happening but I wanted to know how it ended. It did pick up but it took a while. The end was so worth it all though. Love Nicholas. And Etta. And Julian. And Sophia and Li Min.

We can live in the past, but we cannot dwell there.

Alexandra Bracken has this ability to write the most satisfying and realistic endings. The darkest minds had one of my all-time favourite endings and i'm glad this didn't let me down. I couldn't put this book down, but I have to say the best thing about it was the friendship between Sophia and Nicholas. I didn't like Sophia much at the start of this book, but I grew to like her by the end of it. And Nicholas will forever be my favourite, I love him so much. Honestly all I cared about was him being appreciated, and loved, and getting a happy ending. I'm was going to give this 4.5 stars because it dragged a little near the start, but last third definitely made up for it so rounding up to 5 stars.

Really good. Just not as good as the first. Ultimately I think I'm mostly happy with it.
