Scythe by Neal Shusterman
5.0
challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Loved this book. Great premise and a wonderful cast of characters who reacted in a very human way to the difficult and dangerous situations they were out into. There were echoes of today with the all-seeing "Thunderhead", and the political machinations and parties were familiar, albeit in an unfamiliar setting.
