Amazing book

Excelente producto, excelente precio

I bought this because it was an assignment for my English class. I was pleasantly surprised, the storyline is SO freaking interesting. It does gets a bit dark at times, though, but life is dark honestly so I didn’t mind. I can’t wait to read the rest of the saga!

You guys. Don’t do what I did and let this gem of a series sit on your shelves! If you don’t own it yet, you must go rescue a copy from the bookstore! This is a series that will stick with you forever, change your personality, and completely consume your thoughts until you finish the last page of the last book. And even then, you may want to just start over from the beginning immediately. It’s seriously that good.It’s far into the future and humanity has defeated death. No one dies naturally anymore and Scythes are tasked with population control. People are chosen for the scythedom carefully because each individual must have empathy, patience, and the ability to deliver death humanely. Citra and Rowan are both chosen to apprentice for a highly respected Scythe but neither wants the job. They must learn the “art of death” and prove themselves worthy of the position or risk losing their life.- Neal Shusterman has the most well-timed dry humor and I found myself giggling a lot!- I love a strong female lead and Citra is just that. She is young and still has reservations but she catches on quickly and pours herself into her studies completely.- the rules of the scythedom and how they interact with the world are well thought out and practical.- The relationships forged between Scythe Faraday, Rowan, and Citra are heartwarming. Even though they’re teaching and learning death, it’s so much deeper than that.I truly cannot recommend this book/series highly enough. Whether you’re already a fan of fantasy sci/fi or are looking to dip your toes into the genre, these books are perfect for you! I also suggest reading this one with friends! There is so much to discuss!
