A review by casualdarings
Wayward by Chuck Wendig

3.0

Somehow exactly what I was expecting from a Wanderers sequel and not at all what I was expecting at the same time. It's definitely slower paced, and took me a bit to get into it. The AI revealed to be behind everything at the end of the first book is front and center now in all its world dominating glory as we see its plan unfold five years later and how the characters we've been following come together to oppose it. Or at least some of them do, lines are drawn and things are creepier than ever. Closer to 3.5 stars, but not close enough to round up, I'm just not convinced it needed to be 800+ pages.
