I am writing this review after finish [b:The Toll 43822024 The Toll (Arc of a Scythe, #3) Neal Shusterman https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1558117336l/43822024.SY75.jpg 59222476] as I have pretty much read them as one book though I will limit this review only to my thoughts regarding Thunderhead and ignore the conclusion of the final book.To me Thunderhead was better that Scythe. There were a few underutilized elements, mainly Rowan as Scythe Lucifer who even in the first book was in Citra's shadow, here he's relegated to even lesser importance which saddened me. Also he gets captured way too easily.Citra is great and her method of gleaning is unique and very appropriate for her. I enjoyed her chapters, but not as much as those of...Grayson Tolliver who was fun and I loved him so much. He easily became my favorite character!The one “character” I have trouble summarizing my thoughts on is the titular Thunderhead. I just didn't care much for its musings.Then there was the ending which, to my surprise, many found unexpected. I found it quite predictable and immensely contrived. For the sake of not spoiling the book I am refraining from mentioning the details but it was... silly.The other part of the ending though was great!
