![]() However, to do this, Citra and Rowan’s dynamic takes a back seat until the last act of the book. Shusterman expertly touches on the push and pull of the two opposing sides for a satisfying finish. In The Toll, The Thunderhead and Greyson’s relationship is akin to Moses and God, while the schism within the Scythedom is reminiscent to America’s current political situation. One of the things that this series does so well, is take real life societal problems and look at them through very carefully built analogies. Threads from the previous two books are expanded and woven into an intricate narrative that explores the philosophical and moral implications of living forever. This key point carries onto Thunderhead, the second novel, where we meet Greyson Tolliver, a teenager who becomes the Thunderhead’s soft spot and the key to the conclusion of the series. ![]() ![]() Goddard hides his greed in between charming smiles, but danger lurks and the Thunderhead knows it. They are coming of age in a time where Scythe Goddard, an extremist, is on the rise. ![]() In the first book, Scythe, we are introduced to Citra and Rowan, two teenagers who are chosen to become scythes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other books frequently have the characters evading an at-large assailant or unearthly threat, but here, the story’s lone death occurs in the past. New readers can ease themselves in with something straightforward and grounded like The Surprise Party. These other standalone books help demonstrate why Fear Street is still revered after so many years. The spin-offs like Cheerleaders, Sagas, and 99 Fear Street, as well as anything detailing the Fear Family’s curse, are all recommended. With renewed interest in R.L Stine ’s series of young-adult horror books, both seasoned and new fans of Fear Street might want a rundown of books to read as they explore the darker end of Shadyside. ![]() The townspeople have good reason to steer clear of the area. Fear Street looks harmless enough - the most glaring exception being the burned-down mansion that serves as a reminder of the Fears’ misfortune - but the ghost stories say otherwise. While other small towns might have a creepy house or two, Shadyside has an entire neighborhood full of them. ![]() |
