Gleanings: Stories from the Arc of a Scythe
The New York Times bestselling Arc of the Scythe series continues with “captivating…thrilling” (School Library Journal) stories that span the timeline. Storylines continue. Origin stories are revealed. And new Scythes emerge!
There are still countless tales of the Scythedom to tell. Centuries passed between the Thunderhead cradling humanity and Scythe Goddard trying to turn it upside down. For years, humans lived in a world without hunger, disease, or death with Scythes as the living instruments of population control.
Neal Shusterman—along with collaborators David Yoon, Jarrod Shusterman, Sofía Lapuente, Michael H. Payne, Michelle Knowlden, and Joelle Shusterman—returns to the world throughout the timeline of the Arc of a Scythe series. Discover secrets and histories of characters you’ve followed for three volumes and meet new heroes, new foes, and some figures in between.
Gleanings shows just how expansive, terrifying, and thrilling the world that began with the Printz Honor–winning Scythe truly is.

This was a bunch of fun stories. Some I were very invested in because they shocked me or included characters in the last few books I liked a lot. The ones about Scythe Curie, Ben, Loriana, Joel, Marni and (surprisingly) Goddard were my favorites for sure. The other stories were just as interesting but weren't my favorites.
Absolutely important to the entire series! Yes these are short stories, but there's so much insight into things that happened at various points in the series, along with explanations to a few items before the Scythdom and even a minor bonus to post The Toll. I wasn't expecting to face so many twists and shocking moments, and was extremely happy with how Neal Shusterman wrapped up this book.
Príjemný dodatok k trilógii, ktorý sa rýchlo číta a hodí sa do obdobia, keď má človek trošku problém niečo s chuťou dočítať. Poviedky dotvárajú svet koscov a dozvieme sa z nich pozadie niektorých postáv (nie je nevyhnutné si čerstvo pamätať trilógiu, aj po viac ako roku od jej prečítania mi príbehy dávali zmysel).
Je to ľahké a pútavé, ale odporúčam len tým, ktorí už čítali sériu Žatva smrti.
