A review by jamesbickers97
Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell
3.0
I will be honest with this review, I am slightly disappointed by this book.
I thought Carry On was a complete runaway surprise of me, and I devoured the book so quickly, however Wayward Son wasn't the same thing, and I don't know why exactly. I really enjoyed the first section of this book, but things started to lose its way (for me at least) with the introduction of the character Shepard. Like things just went a little too, OTT even for me, someone who believes that more is more.
I think maybe the setting and main antagonists if you will, were the issue for me. I loved the idea of the American Road Trip, but not the execution. Secondly, the storyline regarding Agatha, like just really? That's it? I was hoping for something more twisted and cults, idk.
The saving graces of this novel are the characters however, I love each character so very much. Will I pick up Book 3? Who knows, it's returning to Watford my preferred setting, so maybe I'll give it a go!
