"Scythe" has great reviews - 84% of its nearly 200,000 reviews on Goodreads are 4- and 5-stars - and I couldn't agree more. I'm not the only one who's obsessed with this book. As they begin to understand the intricacies of scythedom, their journeys are complicated by a stipulation: Only one will become a scythe - and their first act will be to glean the other. Reading "Scythe," the story follows two reluctant teenagers, Citra and Rowan, who are chosen to apprentice a scythe, even though neither of them wants the role. Before I opened the book, all I knew was that it's about a world where humanity has conquered mortality and now the only way humans die is by the hands of a scythe - humans who are designated, trained, and spend their lives in charge of "gleaning" people for population control.
