Being a huge fan of [b:Carry On|32768522|Carry On (Simon Snow, #1)|Rainbow Rowell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1481729252l/32768522._SX50_.jpg|43346673], and Rainbow Rowell’s writing in general, I was really excited for when the sequel, [b:Wayward Son|44017627|Wayward Son (Simon Snow, #2)|Rainbow Rowell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1552666477l/44017627._SY75_.jpg|62661027], was announced. Overall, while not as impactful as the first novel of the Simon Snow series, this second entry is fairly entertaining, even though it is wholly unnecessary. Specifically, as someone who has lived in both the UK and Nebraska, in no believable realm of reality could I see English teens actively enjoying a road trip through the mid-west; the magic and vampires are significantly more realistic. That said, if there is another sequel, I’m still set to continue with this madness.
