Scythe by Neal Shusterman
5.0
Scythe was a very well written, engaging and a very realistic science fiction story.
I loved the idea of Cloud evolving into Thunderhead. People have a solution to all the problems, including death and what do they decide to do? Slack off! You got that right. The idea that humans have all the knowledge in the world and yet do nothing with it because they also have all the time in the world, was very realistic. Procrastination at its best.
I really enjoyed reading the journal entries for the Scythes. The little twists and turns throughout were well planned and not something I was able to guess.
The ending was even better. It wasn't just a way to circumvent the laws but it also proved to be a way for Citra and Rowan to help each other. Very smart.
The romance was not overpowering, barely there and never let the characters make stupid decisions because of it. I really enjoyed this book.
