A wonderful sequel to "Carry On"! It's a bit slow in spots, but the beginning and the second half are quite wonderful, and overall I just really liked it. Really looking forward to book 3! ( )
- THE ANGLE OF FRIENDSHIP AND THAT THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE YOU HAPPY AND KEEP YOU SAFE WAS WELL EXPLORED. - I IMAGINED IAN SOMERHALDER A LOT WHILE THEY SPOKE OF THE AMERICAN VAMPIRES AND THAT CAN NEVER BE A BAD THING. - THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS WERE THRILLING AND THE REASON WHY I RATED THE BOOK A 3!
What I did not fancy:
- SO CONFUSING TO BEGIN WITH - TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO GET INTO THE BOOK - FELT HIGHLY UNNECESSARY BUT THE ENDING WAS GOOD - IT WAS REALLY RANDOM AND I AM UNABLE TO SEE IT AS A SECOND PART OF THE SERIES! IT RATHER FEELS LIKE A SPIN OFF. ( )
I realized as I started to read this that I had almost no concrete memories of the first Simon Snow novel. Yes, I remembered the basic premise, but that was about it. And maybe for that reason, or maybe just because that’s how it is for me with Rainbow Rowell’s books, it took me a little while to get into this one. Simon and Penelope and Baz make their way to America to rescue their friend Agatha from some vague danger, picking up a strange magic fanboy along the way. The danger Agatha has found herself in turns out to be much more acute than anyone thought, and extricating her requires serious paranormal ass-kicking. There is no doubt this is more urban fantasy than Harry Potter, though it is also a coming-of-age story of the sort that Rowell excels at. Simon is adjusting to an existence without magic (though not without power), Baz is forced to explore some vampiric realities, and Penelope, well, Penelope just has to grow up and learn she might not have all the answers, but that might be okay. Classic YA, but with a definite fantastical twist. ( )
What does the Chosen One do, once his destiny is complete? For Simon Snow, the answer is road trip across America. But instead of a good time, they stumble into another culture's magical politics and wars. A fun sequel but definitely a middle book. ( )
THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE NO. 1 BESTSELLERCARRY ON Simon Snow is back and he's coming to America! The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after... So why can't Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light. That's how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place. With Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell has written a book for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. And a book for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. It's another helping of sour cherry scones with an absolutely decadent amount of butter. Come on, Simon Snow. Your hero's journey might be over â?? but your life has just begun.
