This month I read the amazing dystopia book Scythe by Neal Shusterman.
In the year 2042 Two kids Rowan, and Citra become apprentices to a scythe, they must learn to kill, but only one can become a scythe.
I would recommend this book to fans of maze runner because it is a dystopia, and is slightly more adult. I love this book because of the premise. To keep the population from spiraling out of control, it’s a necessary evil since trying to live on other planets has failed. Some people now down to scythes in hope of being spared, some pretend they don’t exist, while other hate them. It’s a fun concept for conflict to make the plot interesting.
My favorite character is Honorable scythe Faraday because of how wise he is. An example of when he is wise is on page 11 were he says, “The past never changes—and from what I can see, neither does the future” this proves he is wise because of the foresight Scythe Faraday has. He is wise because he sees that the problems the world he will face in the future are unchangeable, and he must face them when they come.
My favorite quote is one page 93 where scythe Faraday says, “One apology is enough,” the scythe told the boy. “Especially when it’s genuine.” This is my favorite quote it shows how moral scythe Faraday is. I bet as a teacher you probably understand this quote.
I think that with the size of this novel it requires more than a one sentence summary! Also, you mention the Maze Runner (I can’t italicize it here in this comment) and so it should be capitalized and italicized as it is book title. And yes…I understand the quote! 🙂 It is something we should all live by.
Thanks for the feedback
