SECOND READ (apr ‘25): (4.5) wayward was SO much darker than I remembered. blake crouch crafted the perfect, terrifying, most unhinged villain i have ever read about. hands down.
FIRST READ (aug ‘22): wayward was an incredible sequel. so intense and evil and all-around dark. i’m trying really hard to write a review, but words won’t do this justice.
i think ethan is such a complex character, and i’m not sure if i love him or hate him. some of the things he did pissed me off, but I also understood his point of view. all my thoughts and feelings towards him are super jumbled.
and don’t even get me started on dr. “i am god” pilcher!! that man creeped the fuck out of me.
anyways, wayward was a solid sequel, and I'm interested to see where the story goes.
