![]() ![]() There is something about Rainbow Rowell’s writing style in this franchise that feels so breezy and innocent. I’m guessing this novel is suffering a lot of that middle book syndrome, where it is about introducing new characters, and setting up a lot of things for the next instalment ‘ Where the Wind Blows.’ Where ‘ Carry On’ felt rich in atmosphere and world building, ‘ Wayward Son,’ was a little sparse in comparison. ![]() This felt more like a tale or anecdote rather than a novel. I’m not mad at it, though I do feel a little cheated. The angst between Simon and Baz is still there and fabulously kept my attention (if at times, a little juvenile.) Though, it was as if we rolled back Simon and Baz’s relationship for the sake of angst. ‘ Wayward Son’ did not have the same tone as ‘ Carry On.’ There was less of that Potteresque magic and silliness. ![]() I was really looking forward to jumping back into the Simon Snow universe. ![]()
