'Grabs you by the heart from its opening notes and doesn't let go' - Sarah J. Maas, bestselling author of A Court of Thorns and Roses
Texas, 1905
Etta didn't know she was a traveller until the day she found herself not just miles, but years from home. Now, stranded in time, separated from the man she loves, and at the mercy of her enemies, she learns of a new Ironwood plot, more dangerous than she could have ever imagined: to destroy the future she longs to return to.
Nassau, 1776
Devastated by Etta's disappearance, Nicholas is forced to enlist the help of Sophia Ironwood. But after a deadly mistake derails their search, an ancient power emerges, more frightening than even the Ironwoods - a power that threatens to eradicate time altogether.
Into the Unknown
From New York to San Francisco, Imperial Russia, the Vatican catacombs and beyond, Etta and Nicholas must desperately fight to reach each other across centuries and continents, but can their love stand the test of time?
A simmering slow-burn romantasy ripe with forbidden love, revenge, and a deadly race through time, from No. 1 fantasy author, Alexandra Bracken.

3.75 ⭐ for the conclusion of this duology! I must say that I liked Passenger slightly better, but I can't exactly tell why. Throughout the story, the various settings including side characters I got to visited were definitely a part that I enjoyed. I did enjoy our main side characters, too, but maybe a little bit too much, so that it annoyed me that I wasn't allowed to see into their heads more than what the conversations with Nicholas and Etta offered to me. I know that's the point of side characters but still... Also, I liked every part that dealt with the consequences of the timeline changing for normal, non-time-travelling people and the world itself?, I guess. Imagining how our world as we know it might change, if somebody altered some event in the past is interesting. I feel like I might have missed something regarding the pacing, or possibly I didn't connect to Etta and Nicholas as much as I wanted to. Admittedly, this could have been my own fault for it's been quite long since I've read Passenger, but that sadly doesn't change how I feel about the story.
wayfarer funktioniert für mich ganz wunderbar. and here’s why: (disclaimer: spoiler für passenger) ich habe passenger 4 sterne gegeben: ich hatte super viel spaß mit dem buch, auch, wenn das englisch für mich teils schwer war und die geschichte sich nur langsam entfaltet hat. etta und nick haben sich sofort in meinem herzen eingenistet und waren der meinung, ausziehen wäre keine option. wayfarer war in vielen punkten das gegenteil von passenger; es war aktiongeladen, dauerhaft spannend und etta und nick waren kaum zusammen - eine der dinge, die mir besonders am ersten band gefallen hatten, war die dynamik der beiden und ich hatte befürchtet, dass wayfarer unter ihrer trennung leiden würde. bracken hat es aber geschafft, dass man, dadurch, dass die beiden ständig auf der suche waren, nie das gefühl hatte, dass sie ihre dynamik verlieren. beide protagonisten haben in einer unglaublichen stärke gekämpft, die ich nur bewundere. sowieso sind die charaktere für mich der kernpunkt der geschichte; sie sind das herz, in all ihren fehlern und missverständnissen, teilweise auch in ihrer unsympathie, und sie sind alle etwas ganz besonderes. für mich persönlich hat das buch einen starken symbolischen wert. die suche nach dem astrolabe und der debatte darum, was mit ihm geschehen soll, ist ein wunderbares commentary zum thema des menschlichen egoismus und wie weitereichend dieser eigentlich ist. es geht viel weniger um zeitreisen, sondern um macht und dem, was verschiedene parteien mit dieser macht anfangen würden. all in all hat wayfarer so viel spaß gemacht, weil passenger so eine wunderschöne und tiefgreifende grundlage gelegt hat; ohne passenger, hätte ich wayfarer keine 5 sterne gegeben. ein gutes zeichen ist für mich immer, wenn ich mit einem buch fertig bin und es direkt nochmal lesen mag. ich hoffe, es gefällt mir, sobald ich die reihe rereade, dann immer noch genauso gut - und vielleicht werde ich ja dann auch schlau aus dem epilog, ups.
Although I can't really say anything bad about this duology, besides that the ending seemed a bit rushed but I never really got into these books. I really liked the main and characters and the settings though, especially the different times and places. If someone's really into tome travel, this is the book to read!
2.5 stars This sequel and conclusion to [b:Passenger|20983362|Passenger (Passenger, #1)|Alexandra Bracken|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1446749751s/20983362.jpg|40360384] (which I enjoyed a lot) was disappointing. The first half of the 500+ pages were so boring, I tended to only skim the pages because I was bored. It was very slow and nothing really happened. The only reason I did not dnf it was Julian Ironwood, he is hilarious. Also, the writing is great and I did like the ending.
