Wayward: Wayward Pines: 2

This book is so macho, so manly, you can practically hear its muscles rippling. Not such a bad thing in itself, but it is accompanied by a noticeable layer of misogyny (Pam was simply painful). Also, the lack of diversity didn't bother me at first, because in this particular setting it actually made sense. But the fact it was never addressed or discussed was disturbing. I can get behind Pilcher being - on top of a murderer and a psychopath - also a raging racist, but the fact that no character took any notice of the total whiteness of the chosen residents makes me suspect that this was the author's choice rather than the antagonist's.

That's a shame, really, because somewhere under the flimsy characters, plot holes and unbelievable premise, there are some genuinely intriguing ideas.

Still gonna read the third part D:
