I am not sure when the turning point from hate to love happened, but it did.
When I first started this book, I wasn’t sure I would finish it. I highly recommend readers to pick up Scythe. The ending is absolutely perfect and makes me wish I could time jump to the fall.įans of Neal Schusterman's work will not be disappointed. Scythe is a fantastic mix of sci-fi, thriller, mystery, and old school detective thriller all rolled into one. It moves in such a way it is easy to get lost in the book, with a 100 pages going by in a blink of an eye. Once I thought I knew where the story was going it would change in a truly wonderful way. What I loved even more is that the storyline is unpredictable with lots of unexpected plot twists. The plot is fast paced and full of action. The idea of controllable immortality, being able to "turn the corner"and reverse aging, the idea of family being generations and generations old, and the idea of an all-knowing and seeing "cloud" known as "Thundercloud." Neal Schusterman, as always, creates a world that is familiar and foreign all at the same time. They struggle with the big issues of death and killing, while learning about the world of the Scythe. Citra and Rowan are relatable characters with real strengths and flaws.
Readers find themselves as observers to both Citra and Rowan's individual experiences. Citra and Rowan find themselves as unassuming pawns in a bigger game.
Two very different views about how the Scythe should be governed begin to emerge. The Scythe are starting to see dissent amongst the ranks. But things are not all as they appear to be. A group of people, governed by only 10 rules, the Scythe determine where, when, and how a person is to die.Ĭitra and Rowan are taken on as apprentices to learn the art of killing from one of the greatest Scythes in the area. This is where the Scythe come in to play. Everyone is immortal, they do now feel pain, suffer from disease All the knowledge in the world is now kept in the "Thundercloud." But with this perfect world comes some draw backs. Like Unwind, Scythe is a dark look into the future where the age of "Mortality" has past and the world has conquered disease and mortality as a whole. I am a fan of Unwind, Bruiser, Everlost, and Challenger Deep. Neal Shusterman doesn't hold back any punches with his newest book.
