ScytheSo What has happened is that The introduction to the three wain characters, Scythe Faraday, Rowan, and Citra. Scythe Faraday had to train a apprentice so he chose those two to fight for who gets to be a scythe. I think this book is a lot different than other book styles of it. most of them have revolutions in them but this one doesn't. the whole book is just citra and rowan training and stuff like that. So some things that ive noticed with the book is that the whole government is none that is around today, there are no separate countries and its all just run by this computer that's called the Thunder Head. Also there inst really a police force there are peace guards who will stay with people who disobey the law and stuff like that. Through the whole book scythe Faraday talks about how in order to be a scythe you have to be morally above everyone else. He says that the scythes shouldn't like their job that they do they should realize that they have to do it to benefit society. The role of a scythe is that they have to kill 260 people per year. they do this to keep population under control. The scythes cant die but only by their hands and above all law. I really like the concept of the book and think its a really cool style of how the whole world is run. it really is a perfect utopia. The book has a few twists threw it which i will talk about in the next paragraph which i will talk about stuff that might spoil it for you.
So There are these things the scythes go to called the conclave. Where all the scythes from that region go to it and talk about the names of people they killed and bans on things, like weapons. And right before that happened there was this one scythe called scythe Goddard, the scythe of mass gleanings. they have a couple of his mass gleanings in those chapters. so one of his buddies that he goes out gleaning with stands up and says that the apprentice who doesn't get the scythe-hood should be gleaned to add competition. After all of this something unexpected happens. Scythe Faraday Gleans himself. He does this to stop the apprentice ship from continuing but little does he know two people step p and take the apprentices. One being scythe Goddard. So the rest of the book is just training and getting prepared for the last conclave where they decide who gets to be the new scythe. I really loved this book. I think that the character development through the whole book is excellent. Rowan is training and becoming fast and strong. and citra likewise. I ended up just finishing the book in about two days. It does seem short and left off with a cliff hanger but there is a second and soon to be a third book on its way.
