Scythe by Neal Shusterman
4.0

"I love the way it rains here, It reminds me that some forces of nature can never be entirely subdued. They are eternal, which is a far better thing than immortal."

This book is not perfect and there were some things that just came out of nowhere or I felt like were not built on enough BUT BUT BUT

this book was a GREAT READ and it was honestly one that I can say is very much unique. Everything about the Scytheverse is so interesting. Which is probably the reason I wanted to know more and read more about the world itself.. and why I felt like some scenes did not do it justice. Though, all the philosophical questions it poses and the way those were demonstrated was incredible.

It was all blowing my mind. I wish I had picked this book up sooner.

This is the book to pick up when you are in the mood for a deeper kind of YA when it comes to themes.
I am the kind of person who really likes character-driven novels and the out-of-nowhere romance between our 2 MCs was the main reason my rating was pushed down to 4 stars.

Nevertheless, this was a spectacular read and a brilliant novel. I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series.
