Reviews with content warning for Gun violence - Thunderhead

Sooooooo good
Its been a while since I’ve read a great book that made me want to read all the time, at every opportunity. I couldn’t put the book down!
I looooved the political intrigue again. Scythe Anastasia is badass, getting confidence as a new scythe. The relations between Scythe Curie and Anastasia is perfect… How they grew to become part of each other…! Rowan the beast!

I would have like though a little bit more of him in the book. I felt like he was mostly there to just complained about work ethics and getting killed multiple time

I wasn’t sure about the new character, Greyson, but I liked how he slowly became more important.

Although he kinda disappeared after half the book which confused me about his role in all of this

I can’t wait to see what Faraday will know/discover!

And I love but hate at the same time how the Thunderhead reacted. We don’t know its plan, but its reaction felt a little too human to my taste for something who is supposed to help human/be impartial

The -0.25 is for 2 things who are completely personal so…
1. It was slow in the beginning. I had trouble to start the book. And I also didnt like how we have multiple POV yet we were still in the dark for most of the thing. I would have liked to know a little more to really feel what we were up against

and not just by the little “monologues” from the Thunderhead that still didn’t explained much. Also, f*ck Goddard. He really pisses me off. He’s such a bad but good villain at the same time because, some times, he can be smart. I hate how he can get away with everything. He still acts impulsively without any real consequence.

2. Very personal for me :

the dead of Scythe Curie killed a part of me. I loved her. She was my favorite character. Her or Scythe Anastasia. Anyway, her death might have caused me to let out some tears. I went through all stages of grief from denial to anger… I have yet to go through acceptance. I think I might still be mad. Why:’( I’m sad and will make her death my whole depression’s personality for the next week(s?).

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.

I did still enjoy this portion of the series, but not as much as the first book. I am still very excited to see where the series goes, but it does suffer a bit from "second book syndrome". The ending was unexpected, and I was definitely shaken because I was not expecting such a twist! It made me more excited to see what happens in book three.
