About this listen

Two teens must learn the "art of killing" in this Printz Honor-winning book, the first in a chilling new series from Neal Shusterman, author of the New York Times best-selling Unwind Dystology series.

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.

Scythe is the first novel of a thrilling new series by National Book Award-winning author Neal Shusterman in which Citra and Rowan learn that a perfect world comes only with a heavy price.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Very well narrated and fleshed out characters. Found myself losing sleep while trying to listen to "just one more chapter." Touches on some topical subjects very smoothly, highly recommend

Couldn't stop listening!

There is but only 1 one star review and it placed by " dee " . Just to be clear they completely lacked both the intellectual capacity and understanding to fully enjoy this book and should not be taken seriously

Also aside from that the book itself is akin to a moralistic journey for the reader, which turns throughout the story to action to a bit of romance to adventure and intrigue and truly leaves you wondering and wanting more , it is well deserving of its star rating and I hope you'll enjoy it

Dee is certifiably a idiot

It took me a while to get my ear in with the narrator but his drawl was perfect for the sombre storyline, just the right amount of hope too.

Who doesn't like a teen dystopia novel? Can't wait to listen to the next 2 books!

Really good

This Audiobook is definitely nothing for people with Weak nerves but just brilliant if you like Dystopian Books.
The Readers Voice gives the Story its final brilliance.
Thank you
