Thou shalt kill.

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.

Who has started reading? What do you think so far?

I just read the 1st Chapter! That's how you start a book! I am hooked!

To Page 69, Chapter 6: I am absolutely loving this world. (view spoiler)[I appreciate how different Citra and Rowan are, but I'm definitely sensing a spark between them. I'm interested to see how their relationship is going to grow and change over the course of this story. Also, interested to find out why Scythe Faraday chose two of them to have as his apprentices, instead of just one. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6: That chapter was chilling. (view spoiler)[Clearly we have a group of evil rogue scythes on our hands. Gleaning that entire plane that way and they definitely took pleasure in it. So scary, actually. (hide spoiler)]

To Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[Now the bad Scythes havectaken a child, Esme. She didn't seem particularly special, not sure why they grabbed her from ths Food Court. Also, Rowan completed his first gleaning. He's so compassionate and humble. It wouldn't surprise me if he becomes a leader someday. (hide spoiler)]

Where are you now I'm on part 3 ch 18 stuffs going down

I wanted to reread this book for some time so this is great opportunity!

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[It's great to see one good AI running the world. Usually it's a cautionary tale. It's interesting that every Scythe has a different method for gleaning (Faraday is using statistics from our time). (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 17
(view spoiler)[Why did I thought this was in book 2? XD I really pity Rowan for this one because nothing good can came his way when he is in Goddard's care. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 29
(view spoiler)[Goddard has all the leverage he need thanks to Esme. (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[Love the ending! It's a great way to show as what the second book is going to be about. I can wait to read about Rowan as Lucifer. (hide spoiler)]
