The New York Times bestselling Arc of the Scythe series continues with thrilling 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.

Amazing. Stupendous. Shocking. Satisfying.
These are all the words I thought about when reading these stories. Neal has written and organized a collection of stories from the world of Scythe that will be sure to quench the thirst of people who read the The Toll and thought, more, please!
Each story is about gleanings, as the title suggests. Some of them involve characters we know and some we don't. I do suggest you read this after reading the first three books in the series so you don't get confused or spoiled.
If I were to pick a favorite it would have to be Never Work with Animals. I absolutely loved seeing a Scythe get his just desserts BUT...
I have a soft spot for stories set on other planets so A Martian Minute was such a joy to read. This one is going to make fans scream, I just know it
I was a bit apprehensive when news about this book broke since I'm not too big into anthologies but this world has so much to offer. I think readers will thoroughly enjoy these stories. The only issue is, now I want MORE.
