It felt way more action-packed than book 1. Everything happened pretty fast, but it kept a good pace. It was a really good bridging book that smoothy opened up even more plot threads while still staying consistent with what it already had to work with. This book was mainly just to establish new characters and a big bad, but it was still a compelling, fun read, especially if you're coming right off the heels of the first book in the series. 500 pages went fast.

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.
