Scythe

2.5 - 3

i think the concept and the world are so interesting, but i wasn't super into the plot or the characters. i liked the scythe diary entries at the beginning of each chapter and their commentary on mortality and the value of human life; it was really interesting to see the private thoughts of the people whose job it is to kill for population control and to see how they are truly feeling about the things they do or the things the other scythes do. unfortunately, it just fell flat overall. i still think it would be a good book for a younger audience, but it isn't a favorite of mine and i don't have a desire to continue the series.
