Overview

"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?

  • The Continuing Saga of Teen Grim Reapers

    Kristal L. - 6 years 7 months ago

    Thunderhead is the second book in Neal Shusterman's "Arc of a Scythe" series and picks up shortly where "Scythe" left off, with newly minted Scythe Anastasia (Citra from the last book) continuing in her mentors' footsteps. Her fellow apprentice, Rowan, has become the boogeyman for corrupt Scythes, taking on the name Scythe Lucifer. And there's trouble brewing in the Scythedom...I liked that the tone in this book stayed on-track with the last; while new characters and plots are introduced, the important story threads continue to be addressed and some old characters make surprising reintroductions. None of the main characters are perfect, and all of them have to make hard choices. One small quibble I had was that I wish the ending hadn't come so fast, but it does hit hard and lays some really fascinating ground for the next book, the upcoming "The Toll".
