6/7/2023 0 Comments Scythe thunderhead the toll![]() The novel is divided into five parts, and in the first two or three parts it was very chaotic, skipping across a three-year timeline and in the latter parts it stabilizes a little bit more, keeping a more linear timeline at the very end of the three years. One element of the novel that worked very well was the structure. The Toll by Neal Shusterman subverts expectations as to how the series will end but is still enjoyable. The novel is narrated primarily from the perspectives of Greyson Tolliver, Jerico Soberanis, Scythe Micheal Faraday, Lorain Barchok, Munira Atrushi, Citra Terranova, Rowan Damisch, Scythe Rand, and occasionally the Thunderhead. The first novel established the world and the conflict of the narrative in a compelling manner and the second and third novels continue to escalate and develop the world. Scythes glean - or kill - people in order to maintain the population. People can only die by fire and in space or by Scythes. The Arc of the Scythe series takes place in a society where almost all death has been conquered. ![]() ![]() ![]() Promotional artwork for ‘The Toll’ courtesy of Simon & Schuster.Īfter nearly three years, the Arc of the Scythe by Neal Shusterman has been completed with the release of the final novel, The Toll, on November 5th of this year. ![]()
