Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. sarebbe stato meglio rileggere i primi due ma non sono più nel kindle (e stranamente nemmeno nel cloud) in ogni caso speravo in un finale più emozionante ( ) Often in a trilogy you get amazing set ups in the first two books, and then a sense of vague disappointment as they don't all hang together in the third. I think the Scythe trilogy is almost the inverse of this - you get some slightly weird and unconvincing world building in the first two books, but then it comes together like a beautiful resonance in the final book. The island the Thunderhead cannot find. The failed space explorations. The strange Tonists. These books continue to use their strange set up to explore big ideas. What if there really was a prophet who really could talk to an all knowing God? They also remain quite silly though. They end up in places I'm not very comfortable with morally though, and for all they explore some of the big things, they sit surprisingly glibly with some of the others. I'm still unconvinced by Citra and Rowen (even though I'm a sucker for Doomed Love normally) but I loved all the bit characters. The librarian who didn't make it as a scythe. Jeri the compitent gender queer ships captain. Even Scythe Rand - Finally, the conclusion to the Arc of a Scythe series. This book is, like all books in the series, extremely well written an a joy to read. I love how it uses "mystical" religious writings to establish its lore. And this is where it all comes together, and this universe becomes ever bigger. I particularly enjoyed reading about how a seemingly ridiculous idea has grown into a full-fledged religion, including the most un-prophety prophet one could imagine. Even beyond the tonists, this book has so many interesting things that give you food for thought. The Thunderhead seems like a benevolent ChatGPT, and it makes one wonder if this is a future we're heading into - but I think ours will be much darker. What could have been better was the pacing (again) - the story focuses a lot on some aspects of the story, but others, the ones you really want to know about, are few and far between. I greatly enjoyed reading this series, as it evident from me having read this 600 page book within two days. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In the finale to the Arc of a Scythe trilogy, dictators, prophets, and tensions rise. In a world that's conquered death, will humanity finally be torn asunder by the immortal beings it created? Citra and Rowan have disappeared. Endura is gone. It seems like nothing stands between Scythe Goddard and absolute dominion over the world scythedom. With the silence of the Thunderhead and the reverberations of the Great Resonance still shaking the earth to its core, the question remains: Is there anyone left who can stop him? The answer lies in the Tone, the Toll, and the Thunder.--adapted from publisher's description. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
