Why I Picked itThunderhead is the second book in the Arc of a Scythe series. I really enjoyed the first book by Neil Shusterman, and I was excited to immediately move on to the second one! (Now I'm just waiting *im*patiently on the third…). SummaryThunderhead follows the same characters as in Scythe as more tensions rise in Scythedom politics. One of the rules in the Scythedom is that the Thunderhead does not interfere. However, the Thunderhead knows that the Scythedom is falling apart and wants to help, so it tries to find a few small loopholes. At the same time, as the tensions rise and politics are splitting the Scythedom into factions, no one knows what the future of their world is going to be. There's a vigilante Scythe on the loose, Scythes are being killed, and no one can agree on a solution. What I likedOnce again, Neil Shusterman did a great job in this AMAZING world with such real tensions and characters. The book was intriguing, the characters went through a lot of strife and development throughout, and it made me so ready to move onto the next book (that unfortunately wasn't quite out at the time. I still need to check to see if it's in the library yet…). There was a continuation of the stories of all of the main characters from Scythe. Though each person is on their own path, it's great to see them cross again and work together. In the political world of the Scythedom, there was a lot of strife and change happening, and it was interesting to read the different views and feel like that divide was actually happening. With all sorts of strife and uprising happening, I wasn't sure all throughout the book what was going to happen. And again, Shusterman was amazing at putting in these plot twists that caught me by surprise! I love when an author is able to do that, and Shusterman is one of the better ones I've read. The world is so developed and far enough in the future with major technical advances that some things that in other books would have been far-fetched were actually plausible in the world that Shusterman has created! What I didn't likeThere was not a lot that I didn't like, honestly. It's hard to put my finger on anything specific! overall impression 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟I loved this book more than the first one! I'm so involved in the world that Shusterman created, and I love reading about all of the Scythedom and the politics and the lives of the characters.
