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.

"Absolutely loved each story. Was fun piecing together the time periods in which each story was told and re falling in love with old characters and new ones as well. Only complaint was there was no stories with Citra and Rowan which I was absolutely praying for but besides that this book was a 10/10."
"I reread the “Scythe” series before I tackled this book. I think it made a difference to refresh my memory of all the characters. It was really good. I was a little disappointed I wasn’t sucked right into it like I was with the series though.  But it still gave me all the good feels as I was met with familiar characters. "
"Really fun last installment to the “Scythe” series, learning about the different characters and their pasts was very unique "

"Arc of a Scythe series is by far one of my favorites OF ALL TIME. The release of Gleanings was the perfect excuse to dive in and reread the series again. I get lost in it every time, the characters, the story line, the VILLAINS. <br/>SO GOOD, and although dystopian.. it makes you wonder.. is it possible?<br/>Gleanings captures the essential, super important bits of the series that we didn’t know we NEEDED. The stories, the background, the secrets! <br/>I loved this anthology, a wonderful collection of stories, by authors we LOVE. <br/>I read the galley before release day, but I knew my review would be incomplete, UNTIL.. I heard the audiobook.. I was absolutely immersed in this world. Best of all narraters include none other than author Neal Shusterman himself, as well as his son Jarrod Shusterman who has cowritten some of the most memorable YA titles of our time; Dry, Roxy, AND has a NEW upcoming release this January 2023!! RETRO, check it out!!<br/><br/>To summarize, Arc of a Scythe is a MUST READ series, and if you haven’t already.. start reading it TODAY!"
