He is also questioned by the Academy over whether he was involved in the plot and he is also questioned by Scythe Constantine, who is also looking for Rowan. Greyson does this even though it gets him expelled permanently from the Nimbus Academy and he doesn’t understand why the Thunderhead has also marked him as unsavoury as it means he can’t access the Thunderhead’s consciousness now. However, he is called in for a meeting with Agent Traxler covertly relaying a message from the Thunderhead, telling Greyson about a plot to kill Scythe Curie and Scythe Anastasia and to not let it happen and to warn them. We are also introduced to Greyson Tolliver who was essentially raised by the Thunderhead and wants to become a Nimbus agent working for the Authority Interface, the human face of the Thunderhead. Tyger makes a reappearance although it seems that this time he is being taken as a Scythe’s apprentice but I don’t know who the Scythe is that hired him.

This is broken up by segment from the Thunderhead itself which was interesting and I am eager to see where this goes.Īs we approach the ¼ mark in the novel, I will admit that the pace is fast but not a lot seems to be happening yet. The first time we see them together is it a secret meeting and Citra warns Rowan about who they have sent after him since he only has two month of immunity left and she explains how the Thunderhead spoke to her when she was deadish and how she feels he is just as important as her and to not get caught. There are Scythes wanting to do something about him but the Thunderhead ignores him since it views Rowan as a Scythe despite what the Scythedom is saying. Rowan has become a darker entity since he has made it his mission to kill the Scythes that are corrupt through various methods but always burning them so they can’t be revived and word about him is spreading through the Scythedom. Citra is already making waves as the junior Scythe under Scythe Curie as she gives everyone she gleans one month to put their affairs in order, prepare their families and choose their method of dying which seems to be making a difference to the people she is gleaning. We re-join Rowan and Citra although they are better known as Scythe Lucifer and Scythe Anastasia respectively and seeing where they are now a year on from the events of the first book was interesting.



Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Science Fiction, RomanceĪfter finally finishing Scythe after putting it down years ago and loving it I couldn’t wait to get into Thunderhead and see what happened to Rowan and Citra after the events of the first book and where the mystery of the Thunderhead would lead the characters.
