Absolutely loved this series right to the bitter end. I’m in the minority in that I didn’t mind the multiple perspectives because it gave more insight into what was going on but I do believe this particular book should have been split in 2 in order for the newer characters to grow on us better and for it not to seem rushed towards the end. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed Arc of a Scythe and highly recommend it to everyone. A reminder in current times that sometimes the only way to defeat villains and dictators is to directly take power from them before they are able to completely destroy life as we know it 🤠 I’m for sure reading the 4th book and expect to be once more engulfed by the universe Neal Shusterman has made within the pages of this series.
