I just finished The Toll yesterday. It’s the final book in the Arc of the Scythe trilogy by Neal Shusterman

If y’all haven’t read any of them, at least read the first one, Scythe. I picked it up last October because the cover and the premise seemed dope as fukk. It’s Y.A. book but I couldn’t put it down. I read the first one in 1 day. I haven’t done that in years. The second book is called Thunderhead and this third is The Toll.

The first book gave me the same vibes I got from The Giver as a youngster. It’s definitely more adult themed and intense than that, but I think the comparison is a decent one.

I’m now onto The Institute by Stephen King. I’m not far into it yet but it’s intriguing so far.

The Institute was underwhelming

I just remembered Marlon Browns, Black Leopard, Red Wolf. I couldnt get through it because its too complicated w magic and shapeshifters and shyt. It's High Fantasy in Africa. Although there's a lot of homosexuality and gender bending. That shyt doesnt bother me , but if that rubs you the wrong way - Id pass on it,.
