1) Citra and Rowan being pitted against one another, where only one can live. This was my original “oh, there’s the twist!” Moment.
2) Rowan killing Scythe Goddard & co. I really thought he was going to be the Big Bad.
3) Faraday wasn’t murdered, he faked his own death.
One thing about Scythe is, there’s quite a lot of talk of death, dying, and killing. So you’d think the book would be quite dark. But it’s NOT, and that’s so interesting to me. It’s a topic we all try our hardest to avoid thinking about, but Shusterman really digs in, especially though the journal entries, to explore what it means to be, essentially, immortal.
I’m so excited to read the second book, I’ve been struggling all year to find the motivation to read and this has really reinvigorated me in a way other books haven’t. I can’t wait to see what twists and turns the story takes in the next 2 books.
