I began Thunderhead the moment I finished Scythe and so the beginning of one and the end of the other is a little blurry but a demonstration of the quality of the series.
We see our main characters from book one face new challenges alongside new characters that you quickly grow to love. New challenges rise that expand concepts from the first book, giving us a more detailed picture of Shusterman's future world and a better idea of its workings - the Scythe journal extracts replaced witj the thoughts of the Thunderhead.
It well demonstrates the duality of man and how difficult it can be to account for it or make a world free of it, even with a perfect force in power.
Like the book before it, Thunderhead does a great job of making us love and hate all the right people at the right times, bringing into question the morality of those we love even when their quests appear moral by having other characters question their motives. It also does an excellent job of making you ask questions while only answering half of them to set up for the book following it.
This book certainly adds to the overall value of the series and makes it more worthwhile
