Rowan has remade himself as Scythe Lucifer – illegally
targeting corrupt scythes for reaping, but the entire scythedom is out to
capture him. Cinta is now Scythe Anastasia,
reaping with compassion, but butting heads with the new order scythes who still
look to the deceased Scythe Goddard as their role model. Thunderhead sees everything, but can do
nothing to effect Scythes and the reaping system. Or can he?
While the Scythes may have thought survival was their most important
feat, they have no idea what the world has waiting for them.
Shusterman delves deeper into his creation, giving us a look
into the mind of Thunderhead and into the human psyche. I was not pleased with a couple of
developments in the story, but I won’t give out any spoilers, no matter how mad
I am. If you want to talk about the
book, feel free to contact me. I have much
to say. But, you will not be
disappointed by this.
