Of Scythe: "Pretty much a perfect teen adventure novel Over the years, I've heard many books touted as the successor to Hunger Games, but Scythe is the first one that I would really, truly stand behind, as it offers teens a complementary reading experience to that series rather than a duplicate one. In this pulse-pounding finale to Neal Shusterman's internationally bestselling trilogy, constitutions are tested and old friends are brought back from the dead. It’s been three years since Rowan and Citra disappeared since Scythe Goddard came into power since the Thunderhead closed itself off to everyone but Grayson Tolliver.
This series deserves an adaptation.The explosive conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Arc of a Scythe series. The pros in this book is that Neal Shusterman is able to link all separate events together and ultimately lead them to the final ending of this story.Īll in all, Neal Shusterman explored so many values and issues in this series: humanity, the value of death and life, power, compassion, conscience, religion, and artificial intelligence. Its more plot driven as compared to the other 2 books. There’s also a lack of emotional connection between the characters in this book.
A lot of side characters were introduced in this book which I think may be the cause of losing focus on the dynamics and interaction between the main characters. The Toll focuses a lot on non Scythe characters, especially Greyson Tolliver who is elevated to the god-like status of The Toll by the Tonists. This causes an uproar among the honorable Scythes from other jurisdictions as well as the Tonists (a cult who believes in a particular religion), who inherently hated Scythes. Things get chaotic when Goddard took control of the scythedom and started imposing his own rules of gleaning (or killing) people by breaking the 10 Commandments of Scythes. Everyone is so lost without Thunderhead as they over-relied on this super AI previously. Essentially, Thunderhead marks everyone as “unsavory” (people who have broken the law) and refuses to communicate with everyone in the world except for Grayson Tolliver. In this book, we follow the aftermath of the sinking of Endura (the home to the World Scythe Council of Grandslayers and the Supreme Blade) which causes the silence of Thunderhead. In this pulse-pounding conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman’s Arc of a Scythe trilogy, constitutions are tested and old friends are brought back from the dead.
