![]() Warning: Spoilers ahead for Scythe, book one of the Arc of a Scythe trilogy by Neal Shusterman In Thunderhead, the sequel to Scythe, Rowan is on the run. He is attacking and killing corrupt scythes under the moniker of “Scythe Lucifer.” Meanwhile, Citra has become Scythe Anastasia, living as a junior Scythe with Scythe Curie. There is an attempt on Curie’s and Anastacia’s lives, but they survive and investigate the attempt. The reader also follows Greyson Tolliver, a Nimbus agent who is given a special task by the Thunderhead itself. The characters all meet in a dramatic finale that ends with a massive cliffhanger. I read this book because I read Scythe, the first book of the series, as a book group book. I was completely hooked on the story and the characters, but the best part was and is the masterfully constructed world of the future. This seemingly ridiculous premise of immortal humans and legally ordained killers is made believable through Shusterman’s masterful writings. I highly recommend this book, this series, and anything written by Neal Shusterman. -RB, grade 10
