More about the book

A dark, gripping and witty thriller in which the only thing humanity has control over is death. In a world where disease, war and crime have been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed ("gleaned") by professional scythes. Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythes' apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn the art of killing and understand the necessity of what they do. Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe's apprentice and as Citra and Rowan come up against a terrifyingly corrupt Scythedom, it becomes clear that the winning apprentice's first task will be to glean the loser.

Super pro všechny milovníky fantasy.

Přečteno za dlouhou cestu vlakem, prakticky na posezení. Chudák můj spolucestující musel přetrpět neustálé šokované odkládání knihy, zatajování dechu a vytahování telefonu za účelem focení celých odstavců. Neskutečná kniha, která (ozkoušeno), baví jak náctileté, tak dospělé i seniory (pravda "mladé seniory", ale i tak)! Tuhle knihu mi doporučila kamarádka/kolegyně a já nakonec stihla přečíst všechny tři díly dříve, než ona začala číst druhý díl. Neskutečná jízda.
