Scythe

4.5 stars.

This book was deep, and I feel like some of the biggest critics of this book didn't truly understand the true message of it. I understand how they would then find it boring.
For me, personally, I found it very thought-provoking, emotional and the pace to be perfect for the story being told.

Going into this book, I was wondering if it would be a book to my taste, with regards to violence and death. But I soon discovered that it was less about the actual act of killing and more about the thought process of the Scythe behind the gleaning, a narrative on how power corrupts and how - unbeknownst to most of us - we live the way we live because death is inevitable. I really enjoyed the book a lot.
