Great second books are few, and this one makes a valiant effort. I really enjoyed catching up with our characters again. The plot is pushed forward by a road trip which I often find a little boring (and then this happened, and then this happened, etc.), but Wayward Son was pretty good. Simon is a lot like Harry Potter in book 5- angsty/traumatized - but Baz, Penelope, and their new buddy Shepard more than make up for it. Definitely worth a read if you enjoyed the first.
