In this book, the main characters, Rowan and Citra, are selected to be trained as Scythes. Scythes are an organization of people chosen to kill people at random. Scythes are necessary because the world has discovered immortality and how to sustain the planet. Rowan and Citra have been training under Scythe Faraday when he kills himself and they get sent to different mentors. Rowan gets sent to Sythe Goddard and Citra gets sent to Scythe Curie. Scythe Curie is a well-respected scythe while Scythe Goddard is very violent. The organization of the scythes decries that Rowan and Citra can’t both be scythes so they have to prove that they are better than the other and the victor will kill the loser. In the end, Citra ends up becoming a scythe and Rowan fails. Rowan is sentenced to be killed by Citra but he escapes killing many scythes in the process.
I enjoyed reading this book because I thought it was a very creative and interesting story. The book surprised me sometimes and some plot twists I was not expecting. Overall I pleasantly enjoyed this book.
The book has many points that make it stand out from other books and I hope future readers enjoy reading it.
