A review by booknerd7820
Wayward by Chuck Wendig
5.0
As a huge fan of both Stephen King’s The Stand and Robert McCammon’s Swan Song, I never expected another epic apocalyptic story with as many memorable characters could ever compare. I was completely proven wrong with Chuck Wendig’s Wanderers. When I found out that a sequel was being published, I jumped at the opportunity to read it and I have to admit that every single page has been an absolute joy. My husband can attest that every 10 minutes, I would exclaim, “I f*cking love this book!”
Wayward takes place five years after the events in Wanderers and our favorite characters are back dealing with the ever increasingly powerful and self aware AI, Black Swan. For me, reading this book was the equivalent of checking in on old friends and family. It is a rare talent to create so many unique characters whose traits hold steady over the course of two very lengthy novels and also be able to execute an incredible plot driven storyline that is both very horrifyingly believable and so action packed that I simultaneously did not want to put the book down and I also did not want it to ever end.
Wendig has produced a near perfect conclusion to Wanderers and everyone I know is getting a copy under the tree this year.
A huge thank you to NetGalley, Del Rey, and Chick Wendig for an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
