A review by the_ya_assassin
Scythe by Neal Shusterman

5.0

This a great book! I believe all of the hype for this series now!

Okay, so this story follows that of two teenagers (one from both genders). They are chosen to be apprenticed by a scythe after all of the introductions (the first 100 pages of the book, I think). Then, they are challenged to kill the other (whoever actually becomes a scythe kills the other). Those are high stakes, if you ask me.

It was a tale of anarchy (the Scythes and the Thunderhead), immortality (to all those living in this future Earth of our's), necessary deaths (to keep the population low), danger/fear, and a little romance (between our two main characters).

It was very fascinating and highly recommend this as one of those YA "classics" to read (like Hunger Games, Divergent, Twilight, or Eragon).
