Scythes Curie and Faraday are the dopest mentors you’ll ever meet Check out the other dystopian worlds I’d consider living in here.ģ. Just imagine what you might be able to accomplish if you knew that someone (in this case the Thunderhead) wouldn’t let you fail. Yes, you might find yourself “gleaned” one day by a random scythe, but the benefits of living in this society far outweigh the cost. Basically everything that makes the act of living difficult has been eradicated in the world of Scythe. Death, illness, poverty, even bills if you don’t want them. In this world you’re free from everything. It’s one of few dystopian worlds I’d actually want to live it Even though Scythe is a dystopian novel, Shusterman somehow manages to make his fictional world more appealing than that of our current reality. They’re layered, dangerous and arguably the most interesting people you’ll ever meet.
This world comes complete with a cast of motley characters that feel like people you’d want to grab a drink. While reading, you get a good sense of the distinct customs and traditions that exist in each location the characters find themselves in.
From page one, you’re tossed into the complex world of Citra and Rowan’s hometown Mid Merica and made to buckle down for the forthcoming adventure. But for the sake of brevity, I’ll stick with discussing 10 reasons why Arc of a Scythe is the best dystopian trilogy you’ll ever read. There’s so much more to talk about with this story. When “Scythe” begins, two teens, Rowan Damisch and Citra Terranova, are chosen to apprentice for a highly respected scythe and are made to compete against one another for the chance to become a licensed death-bringer themselves. Not even to the Thunderhead, a giant supercomputer in this world that controls everything on the planet. These scythes are death-bringers who operate under their own terms and laws, and answer to no one.
Set in a future world where society has conquered death, poverty, illness and any other global crisis you can think of, “scythes” are charged with curbing the population. Without giving too much away, here’s a quick synopsis about what to expect from this series. But none of these series comes close to what Neal Shusterman’s been able to accomplish with his Arc of a Scythe series. Before I begin, I’d like to issue a preemptive apology to those of you who love the “will they, won’t they” romance between Katniss and Peeta and the pound-pulsing action of books like the Maze Runner, because what I’m about to say can be considered controversial.
