Wayfarer by Alexandra Bracken

5.0

I absolutely loved the way this duology concluded. The world building was fabulous and explained well as the characterd revealed more of their own time traveling world to the younger generations. Character development was gradual and believable. Etta didn't seem to change who she was by much throughout the story, but she learned to stand on her own two feet. Nicholas and Sophia both grew enormously as events transpired and truths were uncovered. I do wish Sophia's pov was given during some parts of this second book, even thought the book would've been longer, because she was a fascinating, complex woman who I at first hated but loved by the end.

This sequel explored some of the alternate timelines alluded to in the first book and how much impact the travelers' influence on events and people can have. Further exploration of the shifts in timelines would've been fun, but that would've necetated in a longer book series. As this duology stands, it's action-packed, fast paced and full of adventure and intrigue with just enough romance and found family thrown in to thoroughly satisfy me.

I loved both books and highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys historical fantasy with adventure and some romance.
