Kind of underwhelming. My favorite was the goblin story. All these stories had the potential to be scary but missed the mark in virtually every one which sucks cause I really like Rachel Harrison’s work.

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.

So cute and adorable. This will definitely be a reoccurring read. Love how the book itself feels and looks as well as the art and funny dialogue between the MCs.

Loved this story! I felt like I was back in Brooklyn solving a mystery full of magic and listening to a story about my family.

I am blown away by the world building and the story that is unfolding in the Arc of a Scythe series so far. This 2nd installment is probably one of my favorite books of all time. I won’t spoil anything but all the big reveals had me gasping in disbelief. I am very much invested in Rowan and Citras journey and relate to them both in different ways. The new order scythes as villains are infuriating and get under your skin with how diabolical they are which reflects on how convincing these characters are and how amazing Neal Shustermans writing is. I am currently sprinting to read the next book! If you loved the first one, this one will exceed your expectations for a sequel in a series.

This was horrifically disgusting in so many ways. I gagged multiple times. Please do not read if you are sensitive in any way. Extreme horror confirmed ✅ I wanted to give it a higher rating but I feel like I can’t with how disgusting the content is lol
