Rad Reading – December

For the month of December I read the book Thunderhead By Neal Shusterman.

Thunderhead is a sequel to Scythe, a dystopian where humans are immortal, and death is controlled by people called scythes. The ruler is a being called the Thunderhead, who has divine knowledge that humans coded. The Thunderhead can’t communicate with the scythes or cause death. The two main characters, Rowan, and Citra, become scythe apprentices at the start, and become scythes at the end.

My favorite quote was on the first chapter,

“The world is a flower I hold in my palm. I would end my own existence rather than crush it.”

-The Thunderhead

This quote is meaningful to me because it demonstrates the power that the Thunderhead has, and makes me think if the artificial intelligence we have today could evolve into something like that.

Summary

I only read half of the book, so I can not provide a summary

My favorite character in the book is Rowan, because he uses his power to hunt down the people who abuse theirs. A trait of Rowan is that he is a Crusader.
