Wow. I did not predict anything that was going to happen in Thunderhead. It was easy to read and intriguing. This was a worthy sequel. 

Like the first book, when the plot started to feel mundane, some kind of twist would happen to make the story pick up again. 

I liked getting to see more into the Scythedom and the Thunderhead. All the threads of the plot and characters weave to create such an interesting story. 

The romance takes a very back burner, but it’s still vaguely there.

Ich habe den zweiten Band noch mehr gemocht als den ersten! 

Es gab einige Wendungen die ich so nicht vermutet hatte, wodurch ich immer angetrieben war weiter zu lesen. 
Zu den alten Hauptcharakteren, Citra und Rowan, ist nun noch Greyson dazu gekommen. Er ist mir in den kurzen Zeit wirklich ans Herz gewachsen.

Sehr interessant fand ich immer die Gedanken des Thunderhead zu den Geschehnissen. Ein stiller Beobachter der sich seinen Teil denkt. 
SpoilerMit der Zeit wurden die Gedanken auch immer verzweifelter. Er tut immer nur das Beste für die Menschheit, aber es wird von ein paar Machgierigen alles zerstört. 
Ich kann es ihm überhaupt nicht verübeln, dass er am Ende die Beherrschung verloren hat.


Ich muss mir so schnell wie möglich den dritten Teil besorgen!

Okay okay okay okay

SO

I know I’m not the most thrilled that
Spoiler Goddard is alive. After that super satisfying death he was given in the first book, it pissed me off a bit because I also just overall dislike the resurrection trope
BUT I can see how it was necessary for this book’s fantabulous events to unfold. 

Greyson is now my second favourite character, tied with Citra. 

The ending was pure gold and just wiabsajealsssja

I am scared for how the next book is going to follow this up, because how do you follow up something as amazing as this?
