Description
“Intelligent and entertaining.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Even better than the first book.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
Rowan and Citra take opposite stances on the morality of the Scythedom, putting them at odds, in the chilling sequel to the Printz Honor Book Scythe from New York Times bestseller Neal Shusterman, author of the Unwind dystology.
Humans learn from their mistakes. I cannot. I make no mistakes.
The Thunderhead is the perfect ruler of a perfect world, but it has no control over the scythedom. A year has passed since Rowan had gone off grid. Since then, he has become an urban legend, a vigilante snuffing out corrupt scythes in a trial by fire. His story is told in whispers across the continent.
As Scythe Anastasia, Citra gleans with compassion and openly challenges the ideals of the “new order.” But when her life is threatened and her methods questioned, it becomes clear that not everyone is open to the change.
Old foes and new enemies converge, and as corruption within the Scythedom spreads, Rowan and Citra begin to lose hope. Will the Thunderhead intervene?
Or will it simply watch as this perfect world begins to unravel?
Reviews
I could not finish 😕
2By allyvalley39This book was very boring and confusing. When I read it I was thrown off bye the third person perspective and the change in who the author was following. And how when you got back to who you wanted to be following they had already gotten past the issue. But in conclusion I would not recommend.Great book!
5By KarensitamichelI could not stop reading it!Best book series I have ever read
5By gxhgcgufjgNeed I say more?Please read
5By MrProteinshakeIf you have read Scythe, you have got to read this second master piece. It starts strong, then goes a little slower, then it hits you full force. You are in for an adventure you’ll remember your whole life. 10/10wow, I’m in shock
5By Lohanthonysnumber1basicgalI need to process the whirlwind of emotions I am currently experiencing after what I have just read. The ending was not what I expected (in a good way) and I did not think it would affect me as much as it did. It’s a slow buildup but it’s worth it as you get closer to the end.Okay
3By lydium_coulsonTook me a very long time to get through but mostly enjoyable.AMAZING
5By The Cello Playeri love this books place in the series, it is the perfect second novel. Amazing <3Unique and Fresh
5By LionelJNeal Shusterman has a unique mind that brings us stories with fresh insight and inspired stories. Thunderhead is a reminder of our reliance on technologies and the possible ramification of our relinquishment of though. Bravo.Good...with some setbacks.
4By Hemingway fanI loved the first book. I flew through it and couldn't wait for this one. Until I met Greyson. I found myself skipping down the page to get through his intolerable and boring storyline. The rest of the book was GREAT.Peak
5By IhaventShowerdin3weeksFictionabsolutely meh
3By Abcdefghijklmnop...etc.i’m a big reader, and nothing about this is memorable to me. it’s an enjoyable filler in your life for a week or two, but nothing in this book has consequence. Nothing here is special and is resoundingly plain when it comes to it’s half-attempt at engaging worldbuildingSO GOOD!!!
5By Marianaomg12345i liked this book so much better than the first, it was fluid yet still kept me engaged the entire time. the added touch of the thunderhead entries was amazing. i loved this so much i’m about to start the 3rd.Thunder thunder
5By Jahcure R.Loved it, I really did.Best Arc of Scythe book
5By star_wars_geekWhile I haven’t rated either book one (Scythe) or book three (The Toll), the reason I’m rating Thunderhead is simple... it’s the BEST book in the series. The writing is beautiful, I love the character of Greyson, and I had chills when the book ended, and I still get chills... after reading it for the 7th time! It’s amazing. If you liked Book One Scythe, READ THUNDERHEAD!!!!Top Notcb
5By cleb456Very well doneIt was great
4By Rkstar2208I won’t give it five stars because of Greyson I found his character very boring.It’s almost good
1By TjedelenWell it’s hard to predict. I’ll give it that. Mostly because it’s really really bad. Unpredictably bad. Save your time, go read something better.Thunderhead
5By Just Another BookerA thrilling sequel to the original Scythe. It introduces more characters and brilliantly follows up others. Citra is a junior scythe under Scythe Curie and Citra continues to learn more about the scythedom and the forces corrupting it. Rowan is on the run from the scythedom, not only for his performance at the last conclave he attended, but for crimes against the scythedom he has committed. You meet Greyson Tolliver, dedicated to the Thunderhead, and learn more about regular people who live in the universe of Scythe.AHHHHHHHH
5By Van CanonI was internally screaming along with the Thunderhead.
