Why The Toll is the Perfect End to the Series (Am I being literal there? I might well be. As this pulse-racing series concludes, The Toll really does go out with a bang. I finished the book a couple of weeks ago but I wanted to wait until release day to publish my review, which has been so difficult! But now the time has come: today, 7th November 2019, is the day The Toll is published in the UK, and am I beyond excited for everyone to read this masterpiece of a book. Set in a dystopian world where overpopulation is controlled by scythes, people who are chosen to kill seemingly at random, the books follow teenagers Citra and Rowan as they are both ordained as scythes and go on to lead very different lives. The Toll is the third book in Shusterman’s Arc of a Scythe series. So when I got an early copy of The Toll in the post, I almost cried. Ever since I read Unwind as a teenager, and then discovered Challenger Deep which quickly became my favourite book ever, Shusterman has been right at the top of my auto-buy authors list. Neal Shusterman has been my favourite author for a long time now. Have you read my reviews of the first two books in the series? If not, here they are: Scythe | Thunderhead In this pulse-pounding conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman’s Arc of a Scythe trilogy, constitutions are tested and old friends are brought back from the dead.

It’s been three years since Rowan and Citra disappeared since Scythe Goddard came into power since the Thunderhead closed itself off to everyone but Grayson Tolliver.
