![]() ![]() And it’s not as overwhelming as one may think. Most books I’ve read are normally in either first person or third person limited, and while I’m sure this isn’t the only book like that out there, it’s a first for me. To start off, the story is told in a blend of switching point of views and a third person omniscient perspective, which I don’t think I’ve seen since. The writing style seemed unlike most books I’ve read, and the plot was really intriguing and different than most dystopian/utopian novels I’ve come across. I’m not normally one to read dystopian/utopian novels (I usually love the world building, but hate how the plots end up seeming repetitive), but this one was just really refreshing. ![]() Scythe by Neal Shusterman quickly became one of my favorite books and definitely is a five out of five stars. But the farther they get in their training, the more corrupt they find the Scythedom to be, and are faced with a challenge of morals. The only thing they can do is play along so that one of them becomes a scythe. ![]() During their apprenticeship, their own lives become in danger. ![]() But neither Citra nor Rowan want to become scythes, making them all the better candidates. They are instructed to do so to keep the population under control, since the only way to die without being revived is to be killed by a scythe. Scythes are humans above the law and trained in the art to kill, and their job is to do just that. In a perfect, futuristic world without peril, teenagers Citra and Rowan have been chosen to be apprenticed by a scythe. ![]()
