Definitely enjoyed this one more than the first book! I was really into the Simon-Baz relationship, though I felt like it took more of a background than I’d like. I hoped it would be more front and center.
Also wasn’t super crazy about the Agatha angle and the 5-way POV. Agatha just isn’t a character I…care about. But Shepard was an interesting character! I really liked the reveal near the end! Hoping to see him in Book 3!
I know I struggled with Carry On but I had no issues devouring Wayward Son. (And am I the only one wondering whether Carry On and Wayward Son were intentionally named that because of the Kansas song? Because Baz does reference Kansas)
Naturally, I have to read Any Way the Wind Blows after that ending too!
