No facet is left unexplored, from the effect this would have on the creation of art to the question of free will and the ethics of having an AI run the world. The Arc of a Scythe is immersive because looks unflinchingly at what it would mean for humans to “conquer death” - and really any unpleasantness, from pain to crime. Gleanings sweeps readers back into the post-mortal world as if no time has been lost between book 3 and book 4, and I was riveted by nearly every page. If anyone had asked me if a short story collection set in the world of Arc of a Scythe could live up to the original trilogy, with its complex characters, twisty plot, and thought-provoking questions about what it means to be human, I would have said no. Gleanings shows just how expansive, terrifying, and thrilling the world that began with the Printz Honor–winning Scythe truly is.
