i love this series . i eventually came around to loving rowan and citra together despite them not interacting for like 95% of the book . almost wasnt 5 stars because of just how much chaos took place at the end but i really loved how it all turned out . especially for goddard :-)

A fantastic final installation to the Scythe series. The Toll moves all the last pieces into place to give us an intense finale that’s hard to put down. Shusterman continues to draw excellent parallels to real experiences our world has had, and shift them around with a futuristic, science fiction twist. The back and forth between tenseness and relief collide in the end to finish the series out with a bang.

welp. That was certainly a book that I read! The first one was so good, the second was weaker, but a lot of trilogies struggle with the second installment. The third was a HOT MESS. So many plotlines and points of view that honestly felt unnecessary by the end. I probably would have been less of a hater if I had read this before ChatGPT existed, but the AI love is not even my main issue with this book. It's just a mess, and the ending was so unsatisfactory.
This book was insane. I don’t even know where to begin. The pacing is a mess. The first 75% moves like molasses because every single storyline is stretched out and expanded in so much detail. Then suddenly everything happens all at once in the final stretch, cramming in every major resolution at once.
There are a million characters and storylines flying around. It switches POVs every couple of pages, jumps through random timelines with no warning, and introduces so many new subplots that it feels like there should be at least three more books just to handle it all.
Still, the world is fascinating, and the ideas are still really smart. I just wish the ending didn’t kind of undermine the entire series.
