![]() ![]() Scythe Goddard has declared himself as the first Overscythe and taken to revising the governing rules of the Scythes, removing gleaning quotas and permitting Scythes to act on their personal prejudices towards certain races or religious groups. Any supporter of Scythe Curie has either gone to ground or been culled. Thunderhead has gone silent, declaring everyone except for Greyson Tolliver as unsavoury. In the wake of the great tragedy of Endura, the world has rapidly changed for the worst. The novel follows on directly from where Scythe (2016) and Thunderhead (2018) left off, so I would recommend reading these novels in sequence to fully appreciate what is going on. It forms the final part of the Arc of a Scythe Trilogy, now set in a grim world where life and death are controlled by one power-hungry psychopath. The Toll was written by Neal Shusterman and first published in 2019. ![]() You can read my reviews of these novels here: Please note that this review may contain spoilers for earlier instalments of this series. ![]()
