A review by jamietherebelliousreader
Scythe by Neal Shusterman

4.0

”Forget what you think you know about scythes. Leave behind your preconceived notions. Your education begins today.”

4 stars. I’m so glad that this is a completed series and I don’t have to wait for any books to be released because I plan on jumping into the sequel immediately. I really, really enjoyed this book. It was my first book by Shusterman and I was not disappointed in the slightest. I love his writing style and I found this to be such an addicting and fascinating read.

The plot of this book is very unique and I like the world Shusterman has set up so far. I can tell that everything is going to get better and better as the series goes on. I loved both main characters, Citra and Rowan, but Citra was definitely the star for me. She was such a badass and I think she had the stronger development of the two but Rowan was awesome as well with all of his emo feels. I liked their relationship and the push and pull between them.

The action was great and there were so many reveals and twists and turns. It was a very exciting ride and I’m excited to see what’s going to happen next. I’m glad that I’ve finally picked up this series.
