![]() ![]() Rowan and Citra take opposite stances on the morality of the Scythedom, putting them at odds, in the second novel of the chilling New York Times bestselling series from Neal Shusterman, author of the Unwind dystology. I was feeling somewhat dubious about how the sequel Thunderhead would turn out, but I was well and truly lured in by that gorgeous cover and decided to give it a chance. One day I’ll get around to writing a blog post on the Grim Reaper through history and through fiction – that would be cool! So, earlier in the year when I read Scythe I was a little disappointed by the romance, though I still loved the plot. I just find the image of a robed figure with a scythe who’s responsible for transporting the dead fascinating. I have a feeling this stems back to a combination of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels and the Blue Oyster Cult song Don’t Fear the Reaper. Hello humans! A little-known fact about me, I love the idea of the grim reaper. ![]()
