Scythe by Neal Shusterman
4.5
adventurous dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

  • So I'm not usually into Young Adult but this one ABSOLUTELYYYYYYY sucked me in
  • World so perfect that nobody dies anymore, so they have to designate and train up Scythes who will select and kill a certain number of people every year to prevent overpopulation
  • Dealing with some old guard vs new order vibes (and the new order people are ICKYYYYYY)
  • There's a lot of ring kissing which was weird but you know, such is life
  • I will absolutely be reading the other books in the series at some point because I finished and was like WHAT?!? THAT'S IT?!
