En un inicio se me hizo un poco lento debido a que saltaba de un pov a otro y casi no salian rowan y citra lo que me fastidio un poco pero ya llegando a la mitad se me empezo a ser mas facil y me enganche y el final fue muy buen y con muchos plot twist como es costumbre del autor asi que me hizo olvidar un poco que me costo tanto empezar.

I really didn't like this book at all and I don't think it's productive to list all the reasons why when I've already wasted enough of my time reading it.

Alright. I loved the first two books. I was soooo excited for this one. But it just didn’t do it for me. There was so many POVs, and a lot of them weren’t important. It was like the author was just trying to stretch the book out, instead of ending it like he should of. The writing was great Shusterman, I won’t lie. You might be one of my favorite authors. But this book just wasn’t it.

I actually gave this 5 stars!!! This third and final book in the Arc of the Scythe series continued to follow our main characters, both the good and the bad, to what was a very satisfying conclusion. I found the development of the characters throughout the series to be interesting and thoughtful. This includes the struggles that one of the main characters, the Thunderhead, had to deal with and overcome. And the whole concept of the scythe and their role in the world was quite different. I could recommend this series to both young adults and those a few years older!!

Don't get me wrong, this was a good ending plotwise; it make sense and is well plotted and it does not leave loose ends.
But it has one of my worst Pet peeves: The "The author lost interestes in his protagonists and got distracted with the shining new ones that were introducted in this last book"
If you take a drink every time that Rowan and Citra were mentioned in the whole book, you wouldn't probably even get tipsy.
I'll say more: if you take them of entirely from the plot of this last book, nothing would change. Seriously. Sometimes they are mentioned, they do some vague staff, but overall, had the author decided to leave them dead, the plot would have worked out just fine.
This book is very Thunderheard driven.
It works, I am satisfied with the book itself, but I'll never be ok with an author being over his protagonists, sometimes it's hard enough for the reader to care, but for the author to care and write abut his protagonist is the bare minimun.
