Elf They/them Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Okay Im almost finished with the first book of the Scythe trilogy by Neil Shusterman and you know that feeling you get when youve just found your new favourite book? the one that goes straight up to your best of the best list even before youve finished them? when youve found a new character that you willingly give your heart and soul to and you know you're not going to stop obsessing about them for months? The completely elated joy of a book that feels like it brought your soul back into your body, and set all the nerves in your body on fire? (the one you cant stop thinking about even though you have exams? ) Thats what I feel for this book!!!!!!!!! oh I love Rowan (the main male protagonist/anti hero) so, SO much I love him more than i have ever loved Kaz Brekker, and if you know me then you know just how much i love Kaz please everyone read this book and i hope you love it as much as I do And like one of the biggest enticing points about this for was that everyone is an antihero, like everyone and none of it, for me atleast, in unbelievable. its all grounded in reality, and every character has their flaws, every character feels like they jump out of the page. they feel human (pls no spoilers because im only nearly finished with the first one) this book is...everything 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morningtide she/her Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 That whole series is fantastic. I agree. Rowan is the absolute best character. It's just an incredible series. The Unwind series by the same author is also utterly fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Isochronism he/him Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 What a great series, I'm glad you've come across it. I have opinions about certain things, but I'll save those for later. Enjoy your reading! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of my favorite parts of it is the philosophy surrounding death. It's done just masterfully in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat he/him Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 This is absolutely my favorite non-Brandon series. I read them as they were coming out and to date are the only non-Brandon books I’ve ever preordered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequence she/they Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) I love Scythe. Easily one of my favorite book series of all time. I've heard that Neal Shusterman's dystopian stuff is really unique, so I might have to check out other stuff by him. My favorite character will have to be *book two spoilers?? maybe?? sorta?? probably not since its just a name and nothing else?? but id rather be safe then sorry??** Spoiler Jeri. Totally forgot their full name, but I find them to be very interesting. The Tone Cult is pretty cool too.
