I thought it was a bit random of Shusterman to add another main character into the series, and then give him his own chapters. Like Scythe, Thunderhead is split between the points of views of Citra and Rowen, but we have another perspective this time! We have Greyson. You think that you’re reading about this perfect world where disease, and death are conquered, where you’re looked after by the Thunderhead, but no. I say that Thunderhead is a dystopian… It’s more of a utopia but with elements of a dystopia.
Everything about this book was symbolic and hints at our own world. I gave it 4.75 stars or something like that, BUT THUNDERHEAD IS A MASTERPIECE. But will it help solve those problems, or simply watch as perfection goes into decline?
Realizing she cannot do this alone-or even with the help of Scythe Curie and Faraday, she does the unthinkable, and risks being “deadish” so she can communicate with the Thunderhead-the only being on earth wise enough to solve the dire problems of a perfect world. He is a dark folk hero now-“Scythe Lucifer”-a vigilante taking down corrupt scythes in flames.Ĭitra, now a junior scythe under Scythe Curie, sees the corruption and wants to help change it from the inside out, but is thwarted at every turn, and threatened by the “new order” scythes. In the year since Winter Conclave, he has gone off-grid, and has been striking out against corrupt scythes-not only in MidMerica, but across the entire continent. Rowan has gone rogue, and has taken it upon himself to put the Scythedom through a trial by fire. Thunderhead has got to be one of the best science fiction/dystopian novels that I have ever read. He just has this way of writing that has me completely engrossed. You know, I think it’s gotten to that point now where Neal Shusterman is one of my favourite authors.
