Scythe
by Neal Shusterman
6 stars *reread
One of my favorite favorite books. If you are a fan of the Hunger Games, then you need to read this one!
"The ending of human life used to be in the hands of nature. But we stole it. We are its sole distributor."
Scythe is a YA dystopian in a world that has solved all diseases and illnesses. Nobody dies-- essentially everyone has immortality and so to combat population overgrowth there are scythes (professional reapers) that 'glean' (kill) people. Scythes all have different methods of how they choose to glean and who they glean. Citra and Rowan are chosen to become a scythe's apprentices and train to become one themselves.
This book has so many great messages on morality, mortality, sense of purpose, compassion, AI, the list goes on. Its themes are insightful and thought-provoking.
"Hope in the shadow of fear is the world's most powerful motivator."
Plz read and report back to me, I am obsessed with this whole series!
