I LOVED THIS!! I’m really considering reentering my YA dystopia phase just for this book to be honest. I literally made my mom order the sequels ASAP. The premise is original and captivating but it is what is done with it that makes the book a great one. Citra and Rowan may be the main characters but I found myself falling fast for Scythe Curie and Faraday. I love the edition of the Scythe journal entries, giving us information that contextualizes information from all sections of the book. The plot had me on the edge of my seat and the twists had me gasping for air!
