Why did I choose this book? It's simple it's a sequel to a great book. And this was an even better book than the book I read before.
Although I still love Scythe Curie, I have grown to love Scythe Anastasia more. She's original, relatable and innovative. I love her way of ending people. She's thoughtful and shrewd. I am not sure when I started to like her more, but it was about halfway through the book. There's not much more to say and stay spoiler-free, therefore that's all I got.
I haven't changed my mind about the theme, perhaps I would just like to add that I fancy the detail put into Thunderhead and the world structure. I was a little worried that since it's a sequel I wouldn't be learning about this fascinating world anything big and new, however, I learned a lot about this book and it's a big reason why I gave this book 5 stars. It's just all thought through so well that I can't dislike it.
I got 2 sections of text which spoke to me. Again a big reason why it's a 5-star book. The first one is on page 320. I like it because it was a major moment in Scythe Anastasia's life. It's a line said after a dinner together with Scythe Curie and other Scythes after big Anastasia's success againstGoddard. The lines are: It was as the meal was wrapping up, and the scythes were embracing and going their separate ways, that something occurred to Anastasia. She turned to Scythe Curie. “Marie,” she said, “it’s finally happened.” “What has, dear?” “I’ve stopped seeing myself as Citra Terranova,” she said. “I’ve finally become Scythe Anastasia.”
The other one is on page 356, it spoke to me because sometimes I wish for the same thing. They're just nice lines I want to remember. The lines are:Anastasia turned away from the other scythes, enamoured of the view. It was a pleasant distraction from the moment at hand. It would be nice to be like those fish; to have no concerns beyond survival and blending into the school. Being just a part of the whole, rather than an isolated individual in a world turning hostile .
The ending was thrilling and I can't wait to read the last book of the series. I'm curious how will things work out, because at this point it could go down real easy, but at the same time, it could all be solved quite well too. Guess I'll just have to stop speculating and run to borrow the third book to find out.
Throughout this whole review, I have been giving reasons for rating this book highly and now there's not much to add. It's a good, fast, thrilling and adventurous book. I love it, it's great to escape reality, and it does the job. I have no complaints. It's everything I want it to be.
