If you enjoy dystopian YA novels then this book and series are a good choice.

They are all taken from history (painters, scientists, authors, activists, and more) and the scythes have personalities and dispositions that fit the name they chose. The Thunderhead (Arc of a Scythe) lesson plan contains a variety of teaching materials that cater to all learning styles. One of the things I really love about this series is the names of the scythes. I can't say too much about that or I'd give away too much of the plot. Thunderhead is set in a future world of plenty, where death and poverty and illness and war have been eliminated by the Thunderhead, an artificial intelligence. The nasty scythes are super nasty this time around, which makes for an awesome story. Reviewers welcomed access to the Thunderheads inner thoughts (journal entries are interspersed between chapters) as the overseer questions its role in the collapse of society, descending into ever-deeper despair: 'All I can do is watch unblinkingly as my beloved humankind slowly weaves the rope it will use to hang itself. I like that they keep in touch and are there for each other at all costs. They are two sides of the same issue: idealistic and realistic hopeful and realistic favored and out of favor. As in all the books by Shusterman that I have read, he takes the elements of society today and twists them to their extremes, creating a world that is our, but not ours.Ĭitra and Rowan are back and I still like them. This book pulled me in as much as the first book in the series, Scythe.
