The world is still being built up and I enjoyed learning more about it. But that’s more because this particular villain is just despicable and I hate him. I liked the first part of his storyline in this book. I think her journey into going from Citra to accepting herself at Scythe Anastasia was very compelling. I really enjoyed seeing her gleaning method and standing up to the other scythes when confronted. Then there’s Citra who is now Scythe Anastasia. The mystery they are trying to solve was fascinating. There is a certain character that I can’t name that spends a bit of time at the reconstructed Library of Alexandria and those were some of my favorite parts. I really liked that we get to see so many of the different characters and all of the things they are doing. Especially with the way Thunderhead ended.

As I mentioned in my review for Scythe, I am rereading the first two books before picking up the final book that has recently come out, The Toll.

Okay, now that I have that out of my system, let’s talk about Thunderhead. I AM SO MAD AT NEAL SHUSTERMAN FOR THE FINAL PAGES OF THIS BOOK.
