1/28/2025 - Finished The Toll
Hi again Feasyheads,
Today was a very interesting day in terms of what I read. I finished the Arc of a Scythe series. Here is my rating for The Toll:
The plot was well-built. Rather than the typical 'gather a rebellion to fight the evil, a few of the good scythes ally with the Thunderhead in order to bring down Goddard once and for all. Throughout the story we are reminded of the Thunderhead's sheer ingenuity and compassion, and I find myself contemplating the Thunderhead more recently. I feel that this was an amazing ending to the series, but I slightly lost track of specific characters and all of the things that the Tonists were going on about. This is why I give this book an 8.5 out of ten.
The whole series was one that, like Legend, had unique touches to its elements and is written in a style that I really like. This series gets 8.9 on our scale for book series I've read because of how all of the individual elements of the story like the plot, perspectives, and writing styles are ones that I like more than average.
There is a book 3.5, Gleanings, but it is more about the history of the Scythedom. I found it on Libby, but it is a three week wait. Tomorrow, I will once again be in search of a new series to read.
Good morning/afternoon/evening/night/3:00 AM,
Uncle Wally
