Review of 'Scythe (Arc of a Scythe, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I found this book in the public bookshelf on a Saturday morning. Usually the books in there are literal trash, and it's rare to find a good book in good condition, let alone in English. This one was such a find, the cover art was striking, and after reading the description, my interest was piqued. Dystopian is my thing.

Well, I read half the book by Sunday, and finished reading it in 5 days. Is it a good book? I think that's a matter of debate, it has a few flaws here and there, like the completely and utterly unnecessary romance, but that's just young adult fiction for you. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed reading it, it's an very interesting, very dystopian concept with an extra dash of the macabre.
