I liked it, it's not bad for a first novel though the writing did feel a little like fanfiction. I did like the magic and love triangle and the direction it took.

I mean damn that ending was something, a strong follow-up to the previous book and an intriguing setup for the final book.

I mean it's a scythe book of course it's good. Though I would've preferred more Faraday and less Constantine.

I mean it was a book, marginally better than the first book and better than it's movie counterpart. It was fine, nothing special but fine and then it got wierd and not in a good way. Either way once again easy enough to read.

I mean it's a Harry Potter book of course it's good. Of course we love a good competition game and then it got dark, very dark. It was like whiplash. Nothing like a funeral scene to make you cry your eyes out.

I mean it's a book, it had a plot and an ending. Would I rather watch the movie? Yes. But Y'know it was an easy enough read.
