Thunderhead by Neal ShustermanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
My reading pace is much slower since Hurricane Michael knocked my life for a whirl (*grr*), but once I finished the online edition of SCYTHE (thanks to Riveted!), I simple HAD to get my hands on the sequel (thanks mom!).
It picks up not long after the first book ends, Citra is unwittingly making her mark in the scythedom (not a bad thing, if you ask me), while Rowan has gone rogue (with good reason!). They both have agendas of a sort they are working on, but nothing could truly prepare you for what's about to go down. It's not just the rumblings of uprise in the scythe community. It's not just the Thunderhead finding ways around its own rules to try and aide those it knows will have a big impact on humankind. It's not just the fate of Tyger, or the newly introduced Greyson (or is it Slayd?) that's gonna rock your world. Let's just say "ghosts" from the past are not quite finished with ANYONE just yet, the Thunderhead is FEELING a lot more these days, and the final outcome will simply take your breath away (which isn't too far off of what happens to...um, never mind).
It's exciting, thrilling, edge of your seat reading that YA lit fans will NOT want to miss. DO NOT SKIP BOOK ONE...not that you would, but in case you were thinking about it...just, NO. Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Glad that your feeling up to taking those baby steps, I've missed you.
ReplyDeleteLoving the cover of this. I'm sooo glad it turned out to be a good read. Definitely books to add to my wish list.... I'm intrigued by that little hint you left there RE: Taking breath away.
So happy that you're able to dip your toes back into the review pond! I actually borrowed this one from the library but had to return it unread because I was greedy and borrowed too many books. :( Glad to hear that it's as good as the first one, so need to put my name back on the hold list. Thanks!
