Scythe by Neal Shusterman
My name is Camille and I am in 8th grade. I love to snowboard and bake. My favorite genre to read is murder mystery.
I read the book Scythe by Neal Shusterman. This is a sci-fi book that takes place in a world where death is not naturally occurring. Technology has advanced greatly so that humans don’t have to worry about starvation, murder or old age; people could live forever if it weren’t for the Scythes. Scythes are people who have been trained to kill and when it is someone’s time, they will find them and kill them. Citra and Rowan are taken in by Scythe Faraday and they begin their training. Over the course of their time together, Citra and Rowan must train not only physically but mentally. They must prepare themselves for killing. At the end of the training Citra, Rowan and Faraday go to the winter conclave to take their Scythe test but they have no idea what is in store for them.
I really enjoyed reading this book because I liked learning what it would be like in a futuristic world. There were lots of plot twists that kept the story interesting and kept me reading. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Sci-fi and who likes futuristic scenes. This book starts off a good series and sets that tone for others to come.
