Scythe

3.5 Zipped along in a few parts but reaaaaally dragged in others and started very slowly. He also has a habit of adding in a romance plotline bc maybe he believes it necessary for genre YA but that little part of the storyline is always flat and unearned, no exception here. I'm curious to see where he's taking this series and will probably read at least the 2nd one to talk about it with the BOB kids but for all the hype I consider it midpack amongst his books.
