Reviews with content warning for Suicidal thoughts - The Toll

,,We are imperfect beings. How could we ever fit in a perfect world?"

THIS BOOK IS SUCH A MASTERPIECE. I wish I could give it 5 stars but, alas, I didn't like one thing so it's not possible. This book will make you feel every single emotion you have. It will make you cry. It will make you scream. It will make you laugh. It's the perfect ending to a perfect trilogy, where every subplot is explored and explained perfectly (except I still don't quite understand what happened on Mars) and just the way this book makes you feel is so amazing. I loved almost every single character (which says a lot, since this almost never happens).

AND ROWAN AND CITRA GOING TO SPACE AND ROWAN SCREAMING AT CIRRUS AND JUST THE LOVE HE HAS FOR THIS GIRL MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT. I also loved what Rand did to Goddard/Tyger that was fantastic and I must say, in the first book I didn't like Rand but in this book I absolutely love her and Greyson's character development is just so *mwah*

You ever read a book where you get just a satisfactory ending. Sure, you are sad the series is over because you have grown to love the characters but you are happy with the way things ended and you can say goodbye to those characters peacefully. And yes, of course, you would love another book but only to stay in the world for just a little bit longer. That’s how I felt with this series. It had just a satisfactory ending and I couldn't be more happy about it.

This book was a lot better than Thunderhead even though I do have a complaint. There are all these weird time hops. Like years would pass and I’d have to read a few paragraphs about what happened during that time. It wasn’t that bothersome but it was a bit annoying. Why not just have the events happen in the book instead of having me read recaps all the time.

One positive thing I must point out is the gender fluid rep. In this Scythe world there is a whole island that is gender fluid. I can’t speak for the accuracy of it as I’m not gender fluid but I thought that it was super awesome. The character was also asked their pronouns, something we need to normalize.

Overall, like I stated above, just a real satisfactory ending to this series. I’m sad it’s over but I am happy with the ending. It wrapped up a lot of loose ends that Thunderhead left. The ending was a little convoluted but not the worst thing I have ever read. Truly a great book and I can’t wait to see it on the big screen as I just read that Scythe is being made into a movie! *insert incoherent screaming* I highly recommend this book series.
