Thunderhead (Spoilers From Scythe)

I have just finished reading this Science fiction book by Neal Shusterman (click authors name to learn more about him and his works) titled Thunderhead. The book takes place a little bit after the end of the first book Scythe, which we saw Citra be robed and now is called Sycthe Anastasia. Scythe Anastasis has started a new way of gleaning, the people she chooses have a month to finish any loose ends of their life and at the end of the month they choose how they would like to be gleaned. Rowan still has immunity that Scythe Anastasia ‘accidentally’ given him and he is equipped with Scythe Goddard ring and has chosen to be called Scythe Lucifer. Rowan hadn’t been officially honored as a Sycthe, but he chooses to be a scythe that ends others scythes for doing wrong. After someone tries to kill Anastasia and fails scythes all around blame Rowan as the person guilty, but in reality they both are still very close despite his crimes. Follow scythe Anastasia as she begins a new life a scythes and tries to correct new order. Also follow Rowan has he ends the scythes that are too far gone to become good. Read this book to answer the questions of who is trying to kill Sycthe Anastasia? Will Rowan be caught?

I like this book because it takes off right after the first book and it doesn’t change any way of writing and still keeps the same details. This book is one of the books I have read that include a new way of living and keeping citizens safe which is pretty special. Thunderhead shows a different side of Sycthes and how reaping affects them which not a lot of books involving Sycthes do. Book series can also either turn out really well or boring and this book proves that this series is going to be one worth reading. The drama that goes on in Citra and Rowan’s new life after either becoming a scythe or not has brought new scythes to our attention. Ciara’s way of gleaning let’s her people say good bye to family and die the way the want. This new way of gleaning has made people question why she was one chosen to be a scythe and is she even following the scythedom. Rowan now be coming an unofficial scythe shows how scythes react when their own kind is gleaned of by another and how many scythes are biased in their gleanings. After Rowan became the apprentice of Scyth Goddard and seen how bad a scythe could truly he be he is trying his hardest to glean every scythe who gleans with a bias. Seeing how scythes act to different situations at the same time shows how all them might act high and mighty, but in reality the use there power to do wrong, at least most of the time. The third book, which will be called The Toll, won’t be coming out till next year, but I already know will be pre-ordering it. Overall the book keeps up to the high standards that the last one had. I recommend this book to anyone who loved the first book as much as I did.
