Gleanings by Neal Shusterman

Reviewed by OHS Student, Eric Z.

Fans of the original Scythe trilogy will recognize the characters in these short stories and will surely enjoy this book.

From the last piece of mortal-age art to space-faring AIs, Gleanings explores life and death through the lens of background characters in the Scythe universe.

The fully fleshed out anti-dystopian world allows the reader to easily relate events and stories from Gleanings to the main plot in the Scythe trilogy. The careful juxtapositions of humor with death make this a captivating read.
