In the first book, Scythe, we learnt of the trials of those going into the Scythedom and what it means to hold such a responsibility. While Rowan seeks to kill the most corrupt in the Scythedom with the skills learnt in his apprenticeship, Citra is using her popularity and political sway to convince people to remain moral in their gleanings. Two people are seeking to rid it out – Citra, more commonly known as Scythe Anastasia, and Rowan, her ally who fell short of receiving the title of a Scythe. Spoilers for that book are ahead.Ĭorruption is evident within the Scythedom, the body of trained killers who are the only people possible of being able to kill humans in the near future of earth. And my god, does the future in the Arc of a Scythe series feel so real! The hype was definitely met from when I finished the first book in the trilogy. Quite often dystopia is based around a futuristic society with a rule or law that we consider baffling, that is until we learn how the society got to be in such a state. I don’t think I ever read a dystopian that felt so real before. I’m scared of the future of humanity after reading this book.
