Scythe
by Neal Shusterman
I don't really have a lot to say about this one. It was unique and interesting and a little disturbing at times. The perfect dystopian book setting. I liked the idea behind the Scythedom and the Thunderhead. My favourite parts were learning more about how this world works and how things came to be. The little journal snippets we get from the different Scythes were also a nice touch.
But overall, I was underwhelmed. I think I had really high expectations because of the hype surrounding this series. While the book was enjoyable enough, it didn't leave me wanting to read more. The characters were okay, but I didn't really connect with them fully. Scythe Faraday was probably my favourite and I liked his connection with Scythe Curie. Citra and Rowan on the other hand were nice POVs to read from, but I wasn't super invested in their lives, but more interested in the corruption within the Scythedom.
Probably won't be reading the rest of the series, at least for now.
