My first time ever reading a Neal Shusterman book and before I talk about Scythe in more detail, let's just take a moment to appreciate the amazing prose this man writes! I cannot begin to describe how surprised I was to read a sci-fi book that has such incredible writing! Loved every line!

Now on to the actual plot. It's been quite some time since I read a dystopian book and let me feel you, it was exactly what I needed. Not particularly fast paced, but overall thrilling, it was a book that I devoured because I simply couldn't help but want to know what happened next!

What this book managed to do (and not many others I've read have done) is that it made me care for almost all the main characters. Usually, I tend to focus my attention to the one of two main characters and get attached to them, but with this one I loved nearly everyone! Citra, Rowan, Scythe Farraday, Scythe Curie, even little Esme caught my attention!

Citra and Rowan are two very strong protagonists, and I don't mean strong in the physical aspect, even though they could break your bones a million different ways. I love the way they both carried themselves amidst everything they went through and the little hints of romance were exactly the right amount!

All in all, I loved this book. Would definitely recommend and would definitely reread at some point!
