A beautiful conclusion to this duology! I thought that the writing held up to the first novel very well and Etta and Nicholas as well as the other characters are wonderfully crafted.
Trigger warning: racism, gore

Reading this book was exhausting. It took me a full week of struggling through all the unnecessary details and plot twists. And the ending left me "meh" at best.
I decided to red Wayfarer because Passenger left me wanting more of Etta and Nicholas. And I didn't like the sequel because there is NO real good scene of them together. None, nilch, nada, zero. Oh, there are a few scene where they meet each other again, but they are rushed and there is so much going on that you don't really care about the reunion anyways.
That's the main problem with this book: there's too much going on. You jump from one scene to the next, a hundred details being thrown to you at once, the rules and motives of each character in the story changing in an instant. It would be an understatement to say that I didn't understand half the book. Nor did I care for it, frankly. I skimmed through, waiting for that reunion to happen because Etta and Nick were the only characters I remotely cared about.
I'm disappointed in the way Bracken tried so hard to keep them apart (they could have found each other in Vatican City and it would have been great) and the schemes she made up at every turn. It became too much and that's where it lost my interest for good.
In the end, I only finished it because I was halfway through by the time I had enough and didn't want to feel like the first 4 days I had spent on it were wasted.

3.5? 4? I don't know exactly what to give this. It took me over half the book to really get into it. The last hundred or so pages confused me. I'm not sure if I liked Passenger or Wayfarer better.
It was really good, but confusing and hard to follow along at points. There are still quite a few loose ends at the end, but overall this is a fast-paced and entertaining end to the Passenger duology.

I’m sad with this sequel and finale to this duology. I loved the first book so much I expected this one to be as good if not better than the first one, however it wasn’t. I had a hard time getting into the story and pushing through the first one hundred pages, then it became more interesting but still not enough for me to be hooked and wanting to finish the book in one siting or to even think about it after closing the book for the day.
As for the writing style I’ve got no complaints I think Alex wrote this one as beautifully as the first one, I think for me the problem was the story itself, I don’t know what I’d change but I know I wasn’t the biggest fan.
The only thing that made me push through and finish the book was the fact that Etta and Nicholas were apart and wanted desperately to get back together.

I really enjoyed the first one so this one kind of disappointed me. In the first book I was able to follow the time travel logic but it went a little berserk here. Furthermore they jumped so much between different times that the setting was hardly described which I really liked in the first one. I also thought the story dragged along for quite a while. I liked the ending but the book over all was not what I had expected.
