This book was sooo good! It was so different than I expected it to be. In a really good way. I can’t wait to read the second one.
I just finished listening to this and I love this book. It was very different from what I expected.
Finally finished this book! I loved it! Can I just say I love Faraday?
Summary:
Thou shalt kill.
A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery. Humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control.
Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the “art” of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own.
