Thunderhead is the second book in the Scythe series. It
follows the same characters from the previous book, Rowan, and Citra. Rowan has
gone rogue, and now hunts down corrupt scythes, and ends them for good.
Meanwhile, Citra is a influential new member among the scythe community. She
openly opposes the new order, and is considered to be a supporter of the old
guard ideals. The newest character that we see is a young adult named Greyson
Tolliver. Greyson is a ward of the state, who was abandoned by his parents and
taken in by the Thunderhead. His hope of becoming a Nimbus agent is cut short
when he is told to interfere in the world of the scythes.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. It is a
good, fun read, and gives a new element to what you would think the world of
scythes is like after reading Scythe. Like the previous book, Thunderhead is
set in a Utopian future, where there is no pain or disease. To anyone who likes
fiction, futuristic novels, or whoever just wants a nice, engaging read, I do
indeed recommend this book. Neal Shusterman is an author who just knows how to
craft a good story in a new reality, and how to grab a reader's attention. I am
really anticipating the release of his next Scythe novel, and after reading the
Thunderhead, you will be too.
