Ich habe den zweiten Band noch mehr gemocht als den ersten! 

Es gab einige Wendungen die ich so nicht vermutet hatte, wodurch ich immer angetrieben war weiter zu lesen. 
Zu den alten Hauptcharakteren, Citra und Rowan, ist nun noch Greyson dazu gekommen. Er ist mir in den kurzen Zeit wirklich ans Herz gewachsen.

Sehr interessant fand ich immer die Gedanken des Thunderhead zu den Geschehnissen. Ein stiller Beobachter der sich seinen Teil denkt. 

Mit der Zeit wurden die Gedanken auch immer verzweifelter. Er tut immer nur das Beste für die Menschheit, aber es wird von ein paar Machgierigen alles zerstört. 
Ich kann es ihm überhaupt nicht verübeln, dass er am Ende die Beherrschung verloren hat.

Ich muss mir so schnell wie möglich den dritten Teil besorgen!

Okay okay okay okay

SO

I know I’m not the most thrilled that

Goddard is alive. After that super satisfying death he was given in the first book, it pissed me off a bit because I also just overall dislike the resurrection trope

BUT I can see how it was necessary for this book’s fantabulous events to unfold. 

Greyson is now my second favourite character, tied with Citra. 

The ending was pure gold and just wiabsajealsssja

I am scared for how the next book is going to follow this up, because how do you follow up something as amazing as this?

I really can’t stop reading the scythe series. It’s thrilling, exciting, and you can’t put it down. There’s so many different themes applicable to today and it’s fantastic YA. The world building is amazing. You end up so invested in all these characters.

I really loved this book while reading it, as I did the first, but I have a feeling that it will be a bit forgettable in the long run. It’s good, and leaves me extremely excited for the third installment, but definitely has middle-book syndrome.
