Pickpick

Scythe by Neal Shusterman is a very twisted book about the workings of a “perfect”, world. It follows Rowan Damisch and Citra Terranova, in a world with no natural death, controlled by an all knowing AI. The two children that have very opposite lives in the beginning of the of the book, but have a similar experience when both have a run in with a Scythe, the only thing that is able to kill in this world, that encounter would lead to them meeting.

Sean.Ceballos And both of them getting offered a role as the Scythe's apprentice, although only one of them can become a scythe. We follow them for a while training to become Scythes, with occasional jumps to the perspectives of regular people in the world while Scythes do their business, till the middle of the book.

Scythe is told in a third-person omniscient point of view, we see the thoughts and actions of multiple different characters throughout the book.

Sean.Ceballos Which shows the perspectives of normal people and Scythes in the dystopia they in.

If you enjoy sci-fi dystopias with hints of tragedy like Maze Runner, then you should definitely checkout Scythe, for it has a lot of the same sort of themes.
