The epic sequel to Chuck Wendig's apocalyptic literary masterpiece WANDERERS. HOW DO YOU SURVIVE THE END OF THE WORLD? Five years ago, a group of ordinary Americans fell under the grip of a strange new malady that caused them to sleepwalk across the country. They were followed on their quest by the shepherds: friends and family who gave up everything to protect them. Their destination, Ouray, became one of the last outposts of civilization, because the sleepwalking epidemic was only the first in a chain of events that led to the end of the world - and the birth of a new one. But the people of Ouray are not the only survivors, and their new world is fragile. Forces of cruelty and brutality are amassing under the leadership of self-proclaimed president Ed Creel. And in the very heart of Ouray, the most powerful survivor of all is plotting its own vision for the new world: Black Swan, the A.I. who imagined the apocalypse. Against these threats, they have only one hope: one another. Because the only way to survive the end of the world is together. 'As great as Wanderers was, Wayward is better . . . Combines grim extrapolation, great characters, and hope.' Christopher Golden 'Salient, masterful, this is an author at the top of his game.' Adam Christopher 'IMAX-scale bleeding-edge techno-horror from a writer with a freshly sharpened scalpel.' Kirkus

Wanderers hit at the right time with the right vibe. This book was not as good but it felt good to have their stories end and be finished. It was still pretty good
Cuando le?? Wanderers, me pareci?? una genialidad. En parte por el momento en que se public??, anticip??ndose a todos los hechos que tuvieron lugar en 2020, pero tambi??n porque la novela nos habla de miedos muy reales y de c??mo el mundo reacciona ante ellos. Ten??a muchas ganas de leer Wayward, pero tambi??n ten??a un poco de miedo de que me decepcionara. Debo decir que no solo no me ha decepcionado, sino que me ha parecido otra genialidad.
Est?? claro que es la segunda parte de una serie y que es necesario empezar por el primer libro para enter el segundo. Sin embargo, no es m??s de lo mismo. Expande la trama iniciada en la primera novela en una nueva direcci??n que sigue siendo totalmente pertinente en el momento que estamos viviendo y, al mismo tiempo, la lectura te atrapa y no te suelta hasta que descubres todo lo que ocurre.
100% would recommend.
3.5 stars!!!
After disliking the ending of the first book, I was nervous going into this. I was pleasantly surprised! I felt as though the last chapter of book 1 ruined the whole thing for me but this didn't go the way I thought it was going to. Much of what I liked about this are spoilers so I can't go too much into it. My major complaint about this duology is that the books are SO LONG and it felt like they could be split into mulitple books. Definitely don't think I would ever reread these, but I enjoyed them!
Thank you to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Del Rey, and NetGalley for providing me with an eBook copy to review.
