Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

Wayward Son

3/5. Sequel to her Carry On, which is an AU version of the fantasy series that her characters write fanfiction about in another book, like you do. This is nice – it is breaking more definitively away into its own lane since it is post school and there isn't a Harry Potter book to get snagged on pointlessly comparing it to. This is an American road trip book with magical shenanigans and relationship drama. However, be warned that this is not a sequel, it's a series continuation and resolves close to nothing that I cared about. This was a surprise to me – unpleasant since I was like "….hey," at the end, pleasant because there is clearly going to be at least one more book.

I just started this and cannot get into it, which is a surprise to me because I read Carry On in one day.
