![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I believe it might be targeted at the younger end of the YA age range. I have to admit there were several cool twists but it simply couldn’t capture my attention. However, it wasn’t that which ultimately led me to be disappointed. I can safely say I’m more-than-average morbid and still something bothered me about it. It’s definitely easy to read and you would expect the story to be right up my alley, but something felt…off…about it. As if that isn’t bad enough, the Institution decides to make things a tad more interesting: whoever is chosen has to glean the other… A promising story but…Īlthough I quite like the premise and the writing is certainly not bad, I couldn’t get drawn in to this story. ![]() The two main characters of the book are unwillingly selected to become Scythe apprentices. The Scythes obey very strict rules and they are the only ones who can bring about “true death” still. However, this would of course create problems with population sizes so it was decided that a new Institution would be created to keep things in balance. People simply reset themselves or can easily be revived. Scythe is a futuristic utopian (although I would go for dystopian) world in which humankind has conquered death. ![]()
