Review: Scythe

Scythe by Christina Bauer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Meimi is great with everything science and tech.  She creates this tech for the Scythe to keep her mom and herself off the grid.  There are two choices in the United Americas.  One – you live in a domed city and are constantly being monitored.  Two – you live outside the dome and try to earn illegal money where you can.  Meimi is doing a good job of keeping her family safe until one of her jobs goes sideways.  She temporarily sends her home into two-dimensional space-time and now the government is on a mission to find out what happened.  What will she need to do to keep her family safe?  What sacrifices must she make along the way?

Scythe is the first book in the Dimension Drift series.  Goodreads has it listed as a prequel (#0.1), but this is the book I started with on this adventure.  This is a short book and will most likely cause readers to stay put and finish in one sitting.  I enjoyed reading about the tech and it is always nice to see an underdog stand up for their rights.  Since this book came out several years ago, I already have the next book (Umbra) ready to read and I recommend other readers get this series soon.
