Honestly, I don't even know. But I did not finish so I might go back to it.
I loved this one more than the first one. Probably because of the new characters I loved so much. also the love story wasn't annoying like in book one! Please read it!
didn't love it as much as tdm. the book is slower paced and i kind of like the first one better. I like the epilogue though!
What a great conclusion to a really cool duology. I love the world that Alexandra Bracken created in the Passenger series and I wish I could be part of it! I'll write a full review soon. But until then, do yourself a favor and check out this series!
"Ma'am I regret to inform you that you now have honor in spades."
"Ugh. Is that why I feel so terrible? Take it back, it's awful."
A wonderful ending to a richly developed and utterly compelling story. Wayfarer takes us on a journey through history- what was and what could have been. I loved so much about this- the writing, the character development, the richness of those characters, and the unwavering love between Etta and Nicholas.

And it was not just Etta. There was Julian, there was Sophia, there was Li Min, who now owed him two farewells. That was a family of sorts, wasn't it? Perhaps not the most graceful example, but it bore all the necessary ingredients of one: care, concern, friendship, guidance, love."

Alexandra Bracken is probably my favorite author. Having read The Darkest Minds Trilogy and loving them, I was pleased when she released Passenger and announced that there would be a sequel. However, I was rather disappointed in this sequel.
While there were things I enjoyed- the accuracy of the history, the idea of time travel, the way she played with these different people from different parts of history coming together to fix a problem- I felt as though this duology didn't really flow from the first book to the next.
Throughout the entirety of the novel I felt as though Bracken was rushed to finish it and get it to the publisher, cramming things in page after page and leaving out vital details that would have helped us connect pieces to the puzzle that was this story. In Passenger we were introduced to the storyline and the characters in a fantastic way. I personally felt as though it was easy to connect with the characters, especially Etta and Nicholas, and put ourself into their story.
Wayfarer, on the other hand, felt like it should have been divided into two separate books. We, as readers, definitely needed to know the history of the different families as well as the astrobe and why it was this infamous thing, but it needed to be done in a different way. With the amount of information that was put into this 532 page book, we lost that connection to the characters. More importantly, we lost that connect to Etta and Nicholas that had been established in the first book. Losing that connection to the main characters made it harder to put myself into the story and imagine what was happening from behind their eyes rather than from a sideline view as if I was watching a movie.
I throughly enjoy Brackens work, but I was rather disappointed in the way this book came to us. While I would be likely to recommend Passenger to a friend, I would be more likely to push that they read The Darkest Mind trilogy and wait for Brackens next novel to be released.
