Critics Review
Pretty much a perfect teen adventure novel […] Over the years, I’ve heard many books touted as the successor to Hunger Games, but Scythe is the first one that I would really, truly stand behind, as it offers teens a complementary reading experience to that series rather than a duplicate one. Like Hunger Games, SCYTHE invites readers to both turn pages quickly but also furrow their brows over the ethical questions it asks […] It asks enough difficult questions to stick in the mind, but it never asks them at the expense of pacing or story. * Maggie Stiefvater, author of The Shiver Trilogy and The Raven Cycle *
Shusterman, who has written 36 books and won a National Book Award, writes prose with the sort of spring in its step that says: “Stand back. I know what I’m doing.” […] “Scythe” is full of sly plot twists and absorbing set pieces. * New York Times *
In a wholly original novel abound with morally grey characters, this story has plenty of twists and a perfect romance to make this YA read an engrossing favourite among readers. * Insider *
“I was absolutely hooked by this book from page one and I couldn’t read it fast enough.” * FeelingFictional.com *
This powerful tale is guaranteed to make readers think deeply. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
