AdamMoe2023 reviewed Wayward by Chuck Wendig
Not the Sequel I Hoped For
3 stars
I’ll keep it short. Where the first book was linear and had a strong “hero’s journey” focus that I loved, Wayward just meanders and lacks any real focus at all. I was excited to finally read this one, but the story was disappointing and the finale fizzled.
It was interesting to read the afterward, where Wendig discusses how Wanderers was written before the 2020 pandemic (which surprised me) and how Wayward was written during the height of the pandemic. That gave the book another half star in my rating.
