A Dystopian Masterpiece.
This was an such a wild ride. At first, I found the book to be okay BUT THEN I WAS SHOCKED WITH SO MANY TWISTS AND TURNS!!! Couldn't put the book down no matter how hard I tried.
In addition, I loved how the story was not only exciting, but very reflective aswell ! with a lot of food for thought about human nature and our distant future. Can't wait to put my hands on the next book!! I want to know what happens next so bad.
(Little side note: as someone Jewish and Israeli who considers Golda Meir a role model, I was filled with so much joy when I saw an important Scythe with that name!! )

The main characters are likeable and grounded; they feel real and interesting in this crazy Scythdom world they've entered.
I often see twists coming, and I'm rarely truly surprised, but this book shocked me.
