About this listen

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 best seller Neal Shusterman, author of the Unwind dystology.

The Thunderhead cannot interfere in the affairs of the Scythedom. All it can do is observe — it does not like what it sees.

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.

Will the Thunderhead intervene?

Or will it simply watch as this perfect world begins to unravel?

I loved both books in this series and am sooo sad I have wait until next year for the next one. The story is well crafted with great characters, interesting twists, good pace and definitely leaves one grasping for more

Superb!

Book 1 - Brilliant Book 2 : Extremely Brilliant Book 3 : Absolutely Brilliant Phew, what a tale from beginning to infinity... full of intrigue, deception, heroic and dastardly deeds; but above all of that the books are filled with Love. Greg Tremblay's narration is first class. He is a master at this.

A mazing

The second instalment in the Arc of Scythe series. Following the journey of two now junior Scythes and the Thunder Head which can help but can not intervene.
I actually enjoyed this book better than the first one. There was so much more content and I really enjoyed the all the characters and how each of them interacted with each other. It was nice following each of the junior Scythes in the own day to day world and how they where both different but both within their own battle and it was nice to see them come together from time to time. There is still the question I have which is will they, won't they. But I'm sure something will happen in the third and final book. There were also other characters within the book which we got to follow, of which we never got a conclusion of stories and roles.
The "actual" Thunder Head, what can I say. An amazing part of each chapter I loved reading. A computer/database which almost seems to have emotion. And the telling of what it can and cannot do, but would like to do if it could was so absorbing it made me sympathetic.
With all these unanswered questions and with the book finishing on a cliff hanger, I am very intrigued to see where it all ends.

Brilliant
