Esattamente come per il primo volume della duologia anche questo non mi ha conquistata poi così tanto.
L’ho trovato a tratti molto noioso, ed in più continuo a non amare i personaggi, Nicholas nello specifico (mi sarebbe piaciuto vedere Julian un po’ di più, lui non mi dispiaceva)
Anche se non mi ha fatto impazzire lo stile di scrittura ho apprezzato il fatto che l’autrice abbia descritto molte più città o luoghi, immergendoci nella loro storia.
Nel complesso per me è stata una duologia un po’ deludente, mi aspettavo un qualcosa in più.

The first 475 pages of this book or so were stunning. Absolutely beautiful. I love the relationship between Etta and Nicholas, how it is captured so well in Bracken’s writing and leaves the reader feeling breathless. However, I was disappointed with the ending. I very quickly became confused with how the story was progressing so rapidly in such a short space of time. I also thought that the ending was rushed and poorly structured and that all the loose ends were tied up rather abruptly - not the ending I was expecting from such a gem of a story. I am however, giving this book 4 stars because 3 is far too little and I would have given this a fifth star had the last couple of chapters not disappointed me as much as they did. Perhaps I expected too much. I don’t know. On the whole, I really enjoyed this story and Alexandra Bracken’s writing and world building skills.
I waited so, so long to read this for fear of the story ending (weird, I know) I am kicking myself for the wait.
i am too emotional to write a review but just know i loved it (a lot)
This epic, time traveling adventure comes to an end in Wayfarer, book 2 in the Passenger duology and boy oh boy, are you in for a ride.
I admit that when I finally picked up Wayfarer, it had been almost two years since I had read Passenger, so my memory was groggy and filled with holes and I had to reread the last chapter of Passenger just to remember how it ended. With a quick memory fix I dove straight into Wayfarer and my memory of the first book slowly came back as I was reintroduced to all the characters and feuding families (there’s a few to keep track of).
I really loved the way Bracken uses time travel and the rules and regulations that comes with it. And the way she writes made it easy for me to get right back into the story where we follow Etta and Nicholas. I shall leave no spoilers so for those of you who have no idea what these books are about, here’s a quick recap of Passenger:
Etta Spencer plays the violin – like really well. She’s the next big thing, but one night she suddenly loses everything she’s known and loved and is thrust into a strange new world of time traveling.
Enter Nicholas Carter, circa 18th century sailor, who suddenly has a new passenger on board his ship (hint Etta). Etta’s arrival stirs up memories from Nicholas’ past from his time spent with the powerful time traveling family Ironwood, a family who just so happens think that Etta is the key to finding a powerful object that could change the world as we know it.
Now Etta and Nicholas band together and find themselves in a race against time and caught between old family feuds to piece together clues left by a lone traveller who is hell-bent on not letting the object fall into the greedy hands of the Ironwoods.
And throughout all of this, Etta learns more about herself and her own history than she’d ever thought possible.
Despite the size of the book, there’s rarely a dull moment and I found myself turning page after page to find out what happened next. And that’s always a good sign.
The reason I did not give this book 5 stars was that I was somewhat disappointed with the ending. It fell a little flat and meh to me, especially after we had just been on this whirlwind of an adventure through different eras in time.
Do I recommend this book? HELL YES! But only if you’ve read Passenger first. No skipping ahead.
So, if you’d like a fantastic adventure with traveling to old, exciting times and with a dash of romance – then get into this duology ASAP! Like, why haven’t you started Passenger yet?

i felt more detached from the characters comparing to the first book...
i still really enjoyed it.
i still really enjoyed it.
I got so bored aHH IM SORRY ALEXANDRA BRACKEN YOUR WRITING IS LOVELY BUT IT WAS TOO LONG AND AH I WAS IN SUCH A SLUMP AND THIS DID NOTHING FOR ME. I really liked the first book too, so this was a bit of a disappointment. At least Nicholas and Etta ended up together...
I completely blame myself for not enjoying this more. I didn't make time for reading it and ended up losing track, getting distracted. It shouldn't have taken me months. I did enjoy it in parts, and the writing is wonderful; I just didn't like it as much as Passenger.
I really loved the way time-travel was used in the first book and how everything came together. This book didn't have as much of that, although I understand why it wasn't possible. - That being said, there were way more locations than necessary, in my opinion. Most of them added nothing to the plot and the events that occurred there could have easily taken place in one of the more relevant times.
Criticisms done, I'm in love with the characters and the ending was incredibly satisfying and relieving. I think Alexandra Bracken knows I'll buy a Sophia and Li Min spin-off, I will be shocked if that never happens.
