The Arc of a Scythe Paperback Trilogy (Boxed Set): Scythe; Thunderhead; The Toll

I am legend. Yet every day I wish that I was not.—Schythe.Let’s talk about this amazing story. This is the world of the postmortal era, humans have conquered death, disease, crime, has destroyed the government; sounds good? The answer for you and I maybe is yes, of course everyone wants a world without problems, basically utopical, but, If we can’t die, how the hell does the world have enough space for everyone? Well is the work of “The Scythe'', a group of trained assassins to kill randomly some people. In Scythe we met Rowan Damish and Cytra Terranova, a couple of teens who have been chosen by Scythe Faraday to be his students in the art of killing. Through the book we learn about their journey, their ideas about death and in some point, about a conspiracy inside this organization.So, basically we are learning about a world without natural death but with some dark twists about the mission of the Scythe. Here we find an amazing story, a huge world building, there’s action in every page, intrigue, politics, a villain very well written. Scythe is more than a book, because it has the power to introduce us some philosophical thoughts about morals, about death, about human nature itself. The main characters are so real, I could sense Cytra’s worries, Rowan’s fears, I can imagine this world with resuscitation centers instead of morgues, and I can feel the fear of the unknown of death. As a scientist who works with death in ancient cultures i really can imagine with this story what will happen if humans couldn't die naturally and how this can change the whole conception about death, because, as humans we experiment our own reality in function of our limited time on earth. In this world, humans have an unlimited time to do everything they want, even reboot themselves to look younger, until a Scythe appears in their doors, and that changes the game. and that's my friends, is why I gave this book 5 solid stars.

I adore this trilogy!!! It’s incredibly deep with the battle between good and evil. It’s a story I didn’t want to end but couldn’t wait to see how it all came together. Beautifully written.

These books are a real attention-getter! I am already into the second book!

I love this series! It is a great fantasy fiction series for teenagers! Great quality and great price!

I love these books so much and they came in great condition! I recommend these books:)

They like there gift.

Storyline is dark but not gory. I think it would make a great movie saga on the level of Thrones of Lord of the Rings.

One of my favorite book series to date! The books themselves came a little damaged but I believe that was a shipping issue, not the seller’s fault.

Me encanta la saga, me encanta como ven este mundo entre una distopia y una utopía al mismo tiempo y el carácter de muerte de la historia enserió lo mejor

Bought this for my son who recommended that I read them. I did and I never stopped until I read the three books. They are so good!

The series is absolutely amazing and captivating! I'll be honest, I read it whole in a week becuase I simply couldn't put the books down! It has some dark parts but the overall story and romances are absolutely fantastic!The books themselves, physically, are stunningly done too! The dust covers are beautiful, the book themselves look sophisticated too! It was a joy to hold them :)

The product itself:There were quite a few dents, scratches, and torn areas on the box and even on the books themselves. They did not do a good job with shipping.However, books themself are good and worth reading.Not worth the price for the damages, would recommend buying a virtual copy or going ahead and buying the books separately or from a different seller if this is something that bothers you. Otherwise, great books and decently quick shipping.

Neal Shusterman does a great job exploring the potential social repercussions of a utopian, death defying future
