Scythe (1) (Arc of a Scythe)
A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021) Two teens must learn the "art of killing" in this Printz Honor-winning book, the first in a chilling new series from Neal Shusterman, author of the New York Times bestselling Unwind dystology. A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery: humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now Scythes are the only ones who can end life--and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control. Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe--a role that neither wants. These teens must master the "art" of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own. Scythe is the first novel of a thrilling new series by National Book Award-winning author Neal Shusterman in which Citra and Rowan learn that a perfect world comes only with a heavy price.

An AMAZING read. Just as thought provoking and deep as the hunger games. I truly believe that these two series should be read by every person by the age of 20.
Still with the comfortability of teen romance and sci fi babble explanations to still feel like escapism.
WONDERFUL, I can't say that enough.

As a fan of dystopian novels, I can say this is one of my favorites thus far. The story is creative and enthralling. Shuttering first captured my eye with Unwind, but he really has evolved.
