Loved this book. The world is and characters are so interesting. 

The world building in this book is amazing. I love seeing what the world is like not only just the thunderhead and how humans are basically immortal but everything with the scythedom and their rules how they solve their issues and the thunderhead doesn't interfere in scythe matters. 

I also really love all the characters (except Goddard). Faraday and Curie are definitely the most interesting. 
Seeing their different reasons and methods of who and how they glean people was very interesting and also added to them as characters. 

I also really loved seeing Rowan and Citra grow as characters throughout the book. I do think the romance could've been done better even though it isn't a main part of the story.

Will most definitely be reading the next book absolutely loved this one.
