4.25

Second books of a trilogy mostly struggle to keep the story going but I think Thunderhead was very well done. So many crazy things happened, really enjoyed the development of the characters and the plot as well. This trilogy is at least a 4/5, but I actually liked the 2nd book more than the first so I’m giving this one 4.25/5
