Thunderhead

7/10

I really love the concept of this series and am very interested in reading the final book. The story is fast paced and exciting. That being said, I do think that this book was a bit too YA for me at times. Dialogue is not Shusterman's strongsuit at least in this story, I felt like a lot of the times he was trying to be dramatic and profound it just came off as trying too hard if not a big cringey. I felt this really began to show through in the last third or so when a lot is happening, and even though I was interested in what was going on and reading pretty quickly, there were moments that I could not take seriously due to the much overly melodramatic dialogue. Still excited to see what happens next, and the ending sequence was very unexpected.
