Publisher's summary

Rowan and Citra take opposite stances on the morality of the Scythedom, putting them at odds, in the chilling sequel to the Printz Honor Book Scythe from New York Times best seller Neal Shusterman, author of the Unwind dystology.

The Thunderhead cannot interfere in the affairs of the Scythedom. All it can do is observe — it does not like what it sees.

A year has passed since Rowan had gone off grid. Since then, he has become an urban legend, a vigilante snuffing out corrupt scythes in a trial by fire. His story is told in whispers across the continent.

As Scythe Anastasia, Citra gleans with compassion and openly challenges the ideals of the "new order". But when her life is threatened and her methods questioned, it becomes clear that not everyone is open to the change.

Will the Thunderhead intervene?

Or will it simply watch as this perfect world begins to unravel?

Great listen but you'll be left wanting more

Book 1 had me hooked on this world/story and I had to immediately grab this book to continue the story. The same can be said for this book but, unfortunately, there is no book 3 for me to go out and purchase!

If you enjoyed book 1 I highly recommend you pick up this book (unless you want to wait for book 3 to come out and then binge them). I thought the story here was just as enjoyable as the first and have no complaints beyond it not being long enough and leaving loose ends for book 3.

Narration by Greg Tremblay was, again, superb and I would be greatly disappointed if he does not narrate the third.

My boyfriend is deployed at the moment and we decided to listen to audio books together while he was gone. This series came highly recommended and it's SO worth it. 100% recommended
