Shusterman cranks up the stakes in this blistering sequel [...]
Interweaving heady questions of morality, responsibility, loyalty,
and power, Shusterman builds to a devastatingly intense conclusion
that sends the characters and larger world into terrifying new
territory. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
This sequel digs deeper into Shusterman's complex world and
complicated characters, offering political maneuvering, fatal
conspiracies, and impending catastrophe via a slowly unfurling plot
and startling bursts of action. Fear the reaper(s)...but relish
this intelligent and entertaining blend of dark humor and high
death tolls. * Kirkus Reviews, starred review *
Shusterman follows up his Printz Honor Book Scythe (2016) with that
most difficult of feats: a sequel that surpasses its predecessor...
There's no doubting Shusterman's talents-he's nabbed both a
National Book Award and a Printz Honor Book-and this sequel to an
enthusiastically received series starter is eagerly awaited. *
Booklist, starred review *
Shusterman wields his magic once again in this continuation. The
exploration of how the Thunderhead operates and thinks, told
through "diary entries," gives the story an extra dimension: how
would an all-knowing, all-powerful AI think, and how would it
process a flawed humanity? The climax and twist ending will leave
fans of the series begging for the next installment. VERDICT A rare
sequel that is even better than the first book. * School Library
Journal, starred review *
"[...] supernatural gets serious" * The Jewish Chronicle *
