WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! I knew I should have waited to finish this until the third one was delivered but I was too impatient. This series is so good. I have no idea where it’s going but I can’t wait to go along for the ride. The directions this second story took were an improvement on an already stellar start to the Arc of the Scythe series. The world was opened up even more and the themes of the original were expanded upon in interesting ways.
