Book Review: Thunderhead

Hi everyone,
I recently finished Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman. I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading in to my review.  Another bookish thing you can check out is my April TBR 2020 to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. I also have up a book haul of books I got before the lock down for COVID-19 you can check it out here. I'd love to know what your reading this month as week let me know either here in the comments or on my video. 

I would suggest checking out my review for Scythe before heading in to this review since this is a second book and I would hate to spoil anything for you. Now hopping on in to the review. I was so excited to start this book since at the end of Scythe we see Citra become a fully ordained Scythe and Rowan go totally rogue. Let me say even though this one was a bit lengthy it was worth it since there was so much going on between Citras , Rowans, and a new character Greyson Tolliver stories. This starts off a few months after the conclave at the end of Scythe and we get to see Rowan become the rogue Scythe Lucifer. Which I think it pretty awesome I'm totally on Rowans side since Goddard and his followers are crazy. We also get to see how Citra is dealing with becoming a scythe and the attempt on her life and Sycthe Curies. Which leads me to the new character of Greyson Tolliver who the thunderhead sets up to be a great part of this story,  we get to see a different view point than that of Citra and Rowan. I really liked that Greysons story was intertwined with the Thunderhead since it's almost a character of its own. I think the Thunderhead concept is very interesting since I'm an IT person myself and can totally see that maybe one day there would be an invention like the Thunderhead since we already have Google and Alexia as personal assistants. I'm not going to say much about some other characters just that I was super surprised at a character reappearance in this book. I also can't wait to get my hands on the next book The Toll I'm definitely ready to see where this story ends since its been so exciting to this point.

I would definitely recommend this one and  if your looking for other books I have reviews up for Scythe,   Marked, and the Lost Heroes of Olympus series: The Lost Hero, Son of Neptune and Mark of Athena. And most recently A Storm of Magic.

Book Review: Scythe

Hi everyone,
I recently finished Scythe by Neal Shusterman. I gave this book 4.5ish out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading in to my review.   Before I get in to the review you can check out my March 2020 TBR to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. I'd love to know what your reading this month as week let me know either here in the comments or on my video. 

Now hopping on in to the review and this is spoiler free. I really liked Scythe. I was definitely drawn in from page one. I liked how we immediately got what the whole premise of the series is about. I think this is a pretty interesting concept for a dystonia; even though having characters that are in charge of population control is not a new concept. I think that since this is from two points of view of apprentices, Rowan and Citra, that it makes it slightly different than other books in its genera. Which brings me to the two characters of Citra and Rowan. I definitely liked both of them and their stories. I think I like Rowans a bit more interesting just because his story was darker than Citra's and we really get to see the corruption within the Sythedom first hand. I also liked that the way the book is structured is very easy to tell which point of view your in. Since we all know I'm not the biggest fan of multiple points of view. 
As for the actual story the pace was pretty moderate. I liked that we got information about both sides of the Scythdom as the story progresses. I can not wait to see what happens in the next two books. I won't spoil the end but I will say that the end is the best part and its a good thing I already have book two. 

Over all I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone that enjoys dystonia novels. I'm so glad I picked this one up and read it. Also, if your looking for other books I have recent reviews up for make sure you check out Marked, and the Lost Heroes of Olympus series: The Lost Hero, Son of Neptune and Mark of Athena.
