Definitely a fantastic dystopian. I loved this world and the reimagining of this world without natural death. Citra and Rowan are scythe apprentices, and in this world, scythes are the only way to experience true death. Hundreds of years in the future, the thunderhead has taken over all intelligence, and solved all of humanities problems. Now the only issues is that we are too perfect. How the Scythes inact death in a managed and balanced way throughout the world. They are the only way someone can die, and only they decide. They are balanced, precise, and unbiased... Or are they? So many twists! Highly recommend!
