More more more Rainbow Rowell

Wayward Son

Rainbow Rowell has done it again. And  I'm sure I wrote that phrase last time. I feel like I've known Simon Snow forever--but it's only been three books. The first one (which was great!) introduced the Wizarding World of Watley through the words of a teenage fan fiction author. It was a blatant Harry Potter parody, yes, but somehow it was one that has its heart in the young people she created and their very real and very non-parodied emotions.

The second was instigated by people who loved the first and really wanted to see the characters finish their adventure, a completion which the first book hints at but doesn't detail. It's really good too and ends with a sense of Happily Ever After...or not. But it did, clearly, end.

And this book is the after after the happily ever after.
