The series got a little too far fetched and grand for its own good. There were so many convoluted points that there were multiple points where I felt like it was impossible to wrap up all of the loose ends. Ultimately, Shusterman did it. I felt like we spent too much time away from certain povs, which made it hard to remember where we last left certain characters. I did really enjoy the conclusion of the scythedom, but the outer space part of it was a little weird. Overall I enjoyed my experience because I loved the characters and the world. The Arc of a Scythe was a solid series overall
