4.25

Wow. I did not predict anything that was going to happen in Thunderhead. It was easy to read and intriguing. This was a worthy sequel. 

Like the first book, when the plot started to feel mundane, some kind of twist would happen to make the story pick up again. 

I liked getting to see more into the Scythedom and the Thunderhead. All the threads of the plot and characters weave to create such an interesting story. 

The romance takes a very back burner, but it’s still vaguely there.
