Review: Scythe
Scythe by Neal ShustermanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am a great admirer of Neal Shusterman's Unwind series so I was eager to read Scythe the first book in his new series. I was not disappointed. Shusterman has a knack for writing stories about a future which seems very believable and very close.
Scythe is set in Midmerica at a time when disease, hunger and poverty have been eliminated. The world is run by the Thunderhead an AI which started its existance as the Cloud. Death is no longer inevitable and so to control population growth Scythes have been created to "glean" citizens to reduce numbers.
Citra and Rowan have been chosen to be apprentice scythes, one will be ordained a scythe and their first act must be to glean the other.
Fabulous fast moving story, great characters. I am about to start book two Thunderhead.
