"If you want to read just one book about malaria, The Fever is probably the best choice. Author Sonia Shah doesn’t overwhelm you with data and analytics, but she does cover the whole history of the disease, which—as the title suggests—goes back further than you might think. The book was published in 2010, so it’s not totally up to date (most notably, we’ve made progress with rolling out bed nets since then). But it’s a great overview of malaria, its impact, and the solutions to it."

In a world without disease, without hunger and without death Scythes are the only ones who are able and granted to keep the population under control.
Two teenagers become a scythe's apprentice and neither if them want the job, but a situation comes about where one of them will die if they don't win against the other.
I really enjoyed this dystopian fiction. The concept was brilliant. The character development subtle yet effective. I was engrossed every step of the way. I cannot wait to read the next installment!
