April 2020 Not First in a Series BOTM - Thunderhead, by Neal Shusterman

[Alaina]

Rowan has gone rogue, and has taken it upon himself to put the Scythedom through a trial by fire. Literally. In the year since Winter Conclave, he has gone off-grid, and has been striking out against corrupt scythes—not only in MidMerica, but across the entire continent. He is a dark folk hero now—“Scythe Lucifer”—a vigilante taking down corrupt scythes in flames.

Citra, now a junior scythe under Scythe Curie, sees the corruption and wants to help change it from the inside out, but is thwarted at every turn, and threatened by the “new order” scythes. Realizing she cannot do this alone—or even with the help of Scythe Curie and Faraday, she does the unthinkable, and risks being “deadish” so she can communicate with the Thunderhead—the only being on earth wise enough to solve the dire problems of a perfect world. But will it help solve those problems, or simply watch as perfection goes into decline?

Well I'd really recommend reading Scythe first before diving into Thunderhead. You would miss on a lot otherwise. Are you far into the book already?

Im like 25% of the way through

25% (view spoiler)[ Well this 'world' is a little different. There are so many rules but for other things you would think there should be a rule for there isn't lol. I am liking Scythe Anastasia, she is both empathetic yet can be ruthless. (hide spoiler)]
