Thunderhead

Thunderhead picks up where Scythe left off (... obviously, that's what sequels do, Karissa -.-). Rowan Damisch is wanted by the scythedom and Citra Terranova has to adjust to her new life as Scythe Anastasia. But could Neal Shusterman leave the plot as simple as that? The answer is no, no he could not.

Holy cow, this book was a RIDE. There were twists and turns and several moments where my mouth just fell open. Sadly, I was reading alone, on my couch, because I totally wanted to look around and be like, “did ya'll just read what I just read???” Shusterman throws characters at you left and right in this book, but it all somehow works without feeling like a complete overload. I don't feel like anyone was added that didn't need to be added. I loved the progression of this book and much like Scythe, it was a casual build and then at the end you had to hold on tight. I'm looking forward to book 3 (because there -has- to be a book 3, despite there not being a release date or anything for it yet) and how newbie Greyson Tolliver will play into the new world that Shusterman has now left us with.
