The prose was absolutely MARVELOUS but the relationship felt too insta-lovey and too "unbelievable" for me to rate this higher

Overall it was a nice mystery, with interesting characters and a lovely small town feeling to it.

The podcast reminded me a lot about "Radio Silence" though, even the name of it, "Radio Silent" was too close to Oseman's book not to miss. Also the whole "weed is good" paragraph at some point felt a bit forced, like we like the character anyway, we don't need to be told that the fact they do weed recreationally is completely normal, it felt a bit forced tbh. Would it be nice to talk about the medicinal benefits of cannabis? Yes. Was that what the author was talking about? No.

It's not often I finish a book and I don't know what to think... This one had particularly interesting characters but at the same time I feel like we didn't have enough time them... Then, on the other hand, I feel like the story had the perfect length, so I don't really know what to say about it

Loved it so much! It's one of those books that will keep you wondering up until the last second!

Minus one star because I didn't really enjoy who the culprit was, I was expecting something different, but other than that, it was an exquisite mystery!

This is probably one of the very few (if not the only one) romance novel that I connected to so, so much. Eve and Jacob's personalities were so dear to me, I loved every page and every interaction these two shared. Currently my top favourite romance book!

Super late to the game, but... what a book! Loved every single page of this!

This wasn't the conclusion I was expecting and honestly, it took some of the love I had for these books, because the first installment was an absolute masterpiece in my eyes.

-we barely see Rowan and Citra
-this book could have easily been 400 pages, even less
-Faraday became one of my least favorite characters EVER, with the way he treated Munira and with how he never took responsibility or apologized to Rowan (at least) for the trajectory of his life
-so many unnecessary new characters that I didn't care about one bit

-there was no climax
-Goddard's defeat was unsatisfying and happened within one paragraph, when we've wasted pages and pages shaping him up to be the villain that he is
-I'll say it again because it really irked me, ROWAN AND CITRA ARE ONLY THE 15% OF THIS MASSIVE BOOK
-the time spent dealing with Tonists was borderline obnoxious

I don't know, man. "Scythe" compared to "The Toll" is a completely different book. This book didn't even focus on the characters we've come to love, it just introduced so many new ones that it felt like the beginning of a trilogy. So many different POV's and all from new characters, so many contemplative passages about the Toll and the Tonist faith and the Thunderhead... I'm a little bit sad, tbh. Not because this series is finished, but because it finished like this.

I mean... nothing will ever compare to my love for this book

Too many thoughts running in my head at the moment, but I can't say I'm disappointed. The only thing I didn't like was the love triangle, I found it completely unnecessary, but other than that, it was a nice ending to an epic series.

A huuuuuge miscommunication trope. It did move the plot forward, but still...
