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.

Este libro es la distopía perfecta. No hay un capítulo, ni una palabra de más. En comparación a los libros de hoy día, en los que los personajes solo están pensando y no pasa absolutamente nada. Este libro es refrescante! El Worldbuilding me da demasiado miedo, porque en una distopía así solo se puede sufrir demasiado! Los personajes increíbles, Rowan es adorable y evoluciona a algo aún mejor, Citra no me ha gustado al principio, pero después se volvió perfecta. Me ha dado mucha risa que el autor creyese que en un futuro va a haber un tren que llegue de Buenos Aires a Caracas, jajajjajaja es realmente una suposición alocada para Latinoamérica, pero aún más difícil que los políticos venezolanos no se roben absolutamente todo el dinero y no dejen que una construcción así se lleve a cabo (río y lloro por dentro, todo a la misma vez). Ha habido momentos muy graciosos, revelaciones, lo tiene todo este libro. Yo lo recomiendo para personas que hayan disfrutado Mistborn
