thecaptainsquarters 's review for:

Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman
5.0

Ahoy there me mateys! If ye haven’t read the first book in this series, scythe, then ye might want to skip this post and go read the first book. Worth the read. If ye keep reading this log then ye have been forewarned and continue at yer own peril . . .

I am absolutely glad I read this novel. I loved it! This book is set one year after the events of book one. Citra is a junior scythe and is trying to settle into that new role. At the same time, her approach to death is unusual and is causing political waves. Rowan has chosen to become an vengeful angel of death known as “Lucifer” and attempts to fight the corruption of scythes from the outside. Much to the chagrin of the organization. The clash between the new wave scythes and the older guard continues to cause havoc.

I thought this book be way better than the first novel in terms of plot and pacing. The Thunderhead viewpoints were fun and I adored the addition of Greyson. In fact he became me favourite character in the book. And I loved the ending all around. I won’t give any other details because no spoilers. But I am eagerly awaiting book three and think that all of me crew should give this series a chance. Arrrr!
