About this listen

Rowan and Citra take opposite stances on the morality of the Scythedom, putting them at odds, in the chilling sequel to the Printz Honor Book Scythe from New York Times best seller Neal Shusterman, author of the Unwind dystology.

The Thunderhead cannot interfere in the affairs of the Scythedom. All it can do is observe — it does not like what it sees.

A year has passed since Rowan had gone off grid. Since then, he has become an urban legend, a vigilante snuffing out corrupt scythes in a trial by fire. His story is told in whispers across the continent.

As Scythe Anastasia, Citra gleans with compassion and openly challenges the ideals of the "new order". But when her life is threatened and her methods questioned, it becomes clear that not everyone is open to the change.

Will the Thunderhead intervene?

Or will it simply watch as this perfect world begins to unravel?

Power leads to corruption

Winner of the ring gathers the riches.
The loser gets nothing except manipulation and becomes a useable commodity.
There were only two left out of the original 8, so I couldn’t see why both candidates couldn’t get a ring, but of course there was an ulterior motive.
The truth of the plot awaits the third book!

Incredible

Did not disappoint! So good.... even better than the first with plot twists and excitement, also oddly thought provoking. A new favourite of mine. Also the narrator is by far the best I've heard on audible. So much range in his voices and accents. He truly brings the story to life!

Stunning performance

The Arc of a Scythe has so far been an absolute pleasure, From the exceptional writing of Neal Shusterman, to the wonderfully talented Greg Tremblay with his Narration.
