I recommend this book for anyone who has read the first book in the series (Scythe) because it is a very interesting continuation of the first book and it keeps you interested and wanting to read the last book in the series. The plot is interesting and involves many characters and conflicts. It also includes interjections from the Thunderhead that provide an alternate perspective. Overall this is a great book and I fully recommend reading it.

Ambition can be dangerous if it is not controlled. Scythe Goddard was ambitious in his plots to change the world. Consequences fell upon him because he lost any ideals he had in his vicious climb to power.

My favorite character is Scythe Curie. The obvious choice of favorite character would be Scythe Anastasia, who I do like because I can relate to, but Scythe Curie is a very interesting character that has a bit of mystery surrounding her. She is renowned as a scythe, known as the "Grand Dame of Death." She gleaned the last political leaders of the Old World so that it could start anew. She is brutal, intelligent, calculating, and wise. She is a mentor to Scythe Anastasia, but she knows that there is much yet to learn. She is very intriguing.

The primary conflict of this book is the attempts on Scythe Anastasia's and Scythe Curie's lives. The conflict includes the murderous attempts themselves, as well as the mystery as to who is behind the attacks. I think it will be solved when Scythe Anastasia figures out who is trying to kill her and her mentor.

"Responsibility" by Steve Forbert represents my book because the singer is singing about his new responsibilities, and how he doesn't have time for normal human pleasantries anymore. He says he can no longer swing, fish, smell the roses, dream. He has too much he has to do to enjoy a normal life. This is similar to how a scythe must live their life after being ordained. Scythe Faraday, Scythe Anastasia, Scythe Lucifer, will never live normal lives again. Being scythes, they are no longer able to live as normal people.

The setting of this novel is on this earth but many years later, so a futuristic dystopia/utopia. As of right now it does seem like a pretty good place to live, even though there are corrupt scythes. You can live as long as you want unless a scythe gleans you, and you get payed just to exist. I think I could make a nice life here.

In the book so far there haven't been too many conflicts. Scythe Anastasia and Scythe Lucifer glean in their own ways. They met up in San Antonio to discuss events of the future. And a new character was introduced: Greyson. Greyson is not a scythe, but a normal man who is training to be a Nimbus Agent. Greyson has just been warned that there is a threat to the lives of Scythes Curie and Anastasia, but warning them would be against the law.

If I were to cast Rowan and Citra in a movie, I would probably choose Zendaya because she can do anything and Ansel Elgort because I have no other ideas. Enjoy

There are multiple main characters in this book. They are Citra-Scythe Anastasia, Rowan- Scythe Lucifer, and the Thunderhead- a computer based all-knowing being that is in charge of most governmental aspects of the world. Scythe Anastasia is a scythe whose method of gleaning (killing) is different than most; she gives her chosen a month's warning before their deaths. Scythe Lucifer is an invalid scythe who is not recognized by the scythedom because of his mission of finding and eliminating corrupt scythes who abuse their power. The Thunderhead knows all, and does not make mistakes. It cannot interfere with the scythedom, but it rules over most other aspects of the world, including the laws. I think Citra and Rowan, who trained together as apprentices, will come together again. The Thunderhead is puzzling however. I don't know what its importance to the story is yet.

This book is about two scythes- people trained in the art of killing in order to keep population stable- and the Thunderhead which is the all-knowing government of society, and how they work towards a better world. I picked this book because the first book was very good and I am interested to see what else happens in this series. The most interesting thing so far has been Scythe Lucifer- Rowan Damisch- and his noble killings of corrupt scythes who abuse their power and kill whoever they want.
