I loved Henry so much. Henry is now my favorite character in this series. I want more Henry but that's really just me being selfish. - Li Min. Li Min is a close second favorite. I loved her so much, I just wish we had more of a chance to explore who she really is. - Interracial relationships. I think I can say that I've read a pretty decent sampling of YA literature, but I can count the number of interracial relationships that I've seen in it on one hand, and only counting main characters, that'd be even less. The Bad -My issues with the pacing were really emphasized in this one, in fact. I understand the want to go and explore as many time periods and places as possible, but the awe and wonder were not there. They flitted from period to period and didn't really go into great detail into many specific eras, which was something from the first novel that I liked much better. - Nicholas and Etta's reunion was held over our heads for so long. They didn't see each other until at least 400 pages in. The first novel was a little over 300 pages if I remember correctly; at least in page length, they spent longer missing each other than actually being together. By at least halfway through, it felt pretty repetitive. So far, this series is only meant to be a duology, which means that their relationship was only beginning to develop. - The general concept of time travel isn't too difficult to grasp, and it is really a unique take on it. In general with stories in any form that contain time travel, these are two of the elements to contend with. However, in this book, the timeline became so muddled and confusing to keep track of. A good portion of the time, I couldn't tell what the situation with the timeline was and if it meant good or bad things. - Hasan never really reappeared. Small detail, I know, but it made a little sad. - Rose felt a little underdeveloped to me as well. We did get a much better understanding of her by the end of the series, but considering how her choices played such a hand in this story, Rose herself as a character remained pretty murky. - Most of the characters, to me, even the most central ones, felt undeveloped. I wish I could explain more exactly what about it made it feel that way. In general, it seemed like there were certain details of most of the characters that defined them, and outside of that, they didn't really have much depth. My Conclusion If you really loved Passenger, I think you will still really like Wayfarer. Personally, I felt a little lukewarm towards both of them. If you felt similar to me, I don't think Wayfarer should be completely written off, but do be aware that the pacing does not change much. Overall, I feel as though the story and characters felt a little underdeveloped in general. I'd really like to see an extension of the series. ( ) melonah | Jan 9, 2021 |
 Alexandra Bracken's Passenger was a fantastic novel - and I couldn't wait for more of the time traveling adventures ( and love story) of Nicholas and Etta. I was sorely disappointed by the sequel, Wayfarer. I did the math and 90% of the book Nicholas and Etta are separated. Investing 532 pages into a novel where it feels like the main characters are just slogging through history lessons was special torture. Side characters ( Julian and Sophia) received more character development than the main characters - and the prose is never ending. You find yourself wanting to strangle Bracken's editor, wishing that she would have just told Bracken to "get to the point." Two hundred less pages, and a shorter separation for Nicholas and Etta would have saved this novel from being the clunker it turned out to be. I will donate my book to the library.

Young Adult Fiction.
I've been orphaned by my time. The timeline has changed. My future is gone. Etta Spencer didn't know she was a traveler until the day she emerged both miles and years from her home. Now, robbed of the powerful object that was her only hope of saving her mother, Etta finds herself stranded once more, cut off from Nicholasâ??the eighteenth century privateer she lovesâ??and her natural time. When Etta inadvertently stumbles into the heart of the Thorns, the renegade travelers who stole the astrolabe from her, she vows to finish what she started and destroy the astrolabe once and for all. Instead, she's blindsided by a bombshell revelation from their leader, Henry Hemlock: he is her father. Suddenly questioning everything she's been fighting for, Etta must choose a path, one that could transform her future. Still devastated by Etta's disappearance, Nicholas has enlisted the unlikely help of Sophia Ironwood and a cheeky mercenary-for-hire to track both her and the missing astrolabe down. But as the tremors of change to the timeline grow stronger and the stakes for recovering the astrolabe mount, they discover an ancient power far more frightening than the rival travelers currently locked in a battle for control. . . a power that threatens to eradicate the timeline altogether. From colonial Nassau to New York City, San Francisco to Roman Carthage, imperial Russia to the Vatican catacombs, New York Times #1 best-selling author Alexandra Bracken charts a gorgeously detailed, thrilling course through time in this stunning conclusion to the Passenger s Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
