I loved absolutely every second of this. So incredibly well written, the characters are so well done. I can’t suggest this highly enough, you will enjoy it.

Oh my god!!! This is an absolutely amazing book. I haven’t read a concept so different and intriguing in such a long time.
In a world without disease, poverty, sickness, crimes, and compelete immortality, Scythes are chosen to deliver deaths to people in order to keep the population under control.
Rowan and Citra were chosen for the task as apprentices, but what happens when they are asked to compete against each other?
I honestly felt such sympathy for Rowan. The choices he was forced to make due to the circumstances that were not his fault truly wrecked me. And Citra’s final act was mind blowing.

The author truly deserved the praise he got for this book. The concept of the dystopian world fueled with immortality is not new, but the way this author managed to add new elements to it was incredible. The characters were so remarkable that I felt connected to them. I look forward to reading the sequel.

DID NOT FINISH: 11%

i didnt finish stupid book because it was stupid book . not worth the stupid effort i put in . 

This book trilogy was the peak of 2024 for me. Dystopian fiction is absolutely my favourite genre, and to be honest, it was this book which got me into it. To this day, it is still the best dystopian series I have ever read.

While there are huge plot holes, the overall premise is intriguing enough to ignore them.
