À propos de cet audio

 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. Anthologies et nouvelles Dystopique Fiction Littérature Science-fiction Science-fiction et fantasy

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Author and narrator Neal Shusterman invites listeners back to the thrilling Arc of the Scythe series with this short story collection featuring multiple narrators. His warm, companionable delivery reveals secrets and origin stories of existing and new characters. Narrator Greg Tremblay’s familiar vocal versatility and Fiona Hardingham’s English accent and humorous tone make the two stand out in this collection. The final story features Tremblay, Megan Tusing, and Nicky Endres together in a fascinating mental conversation between Cirrus, the AI offspring of the Thunderhead, and one of the many survivors from Earth. This audiobook collection spans the entire timeline of the creation and downfall of the Scythes and is essential for fans of the original series."

I didn’t love all of the different voices but all the short stories were so fun to listen too! Such a nice way to wrap up a trilogy.

While this answered some of the stories we’d love to know more of: Madam Currie, Goddard’s origins & more, I felt there were quite a few stories that either dragged on or weren’t necessary. Now that I’ve listened to the end of this, I need a follow up regarding the new interplanetary adventure.

If the trilogy left you wanting more, you’ll definitely want to check out Gleanings. Unfortunately, you’ll have to get past the first story, which is truly terrible, before getting to anything good. There are the predictable stories, like “Formidable” which is about how Scythe Curie gained the moniker The Grande Dame of Death. There is also a story about a main character who lived on Mars before moving to Earth: “A Martian Minute.” Other stories focus on characters who had minor roles in the trilogy. In one of the weaker of these, “Unsavory Row,” Kila Whitlock, whose brother was gleaned in the first book at Rowan’s school, navigates the unsavory world and learns a secret about what it means to be unsavory. In, “The Persistence of Memory,” we learn more about Ben Terranova. There are also stories that are not connected to previous characters. There are two stories that expand the narrative beyond the end of the third book. In my opinion, the three best stories, “Never Work with Animals,” “The Mortal Canvas,” and “Perchance to Glean” were fun to get lost in.

“Never Work with Animals,” was actually a bit of a comedy, while “The Mortal Canvas,” took place just after humanity gained immortality. The younger characters were born immortal while the adults were born mortal, the juxtaposition made for a great story. “Perchance to Glean” takes place in the communal dreaming of the RossShelf charter region. A scythe hunting in a communal dream makes for a great story!

Greg Tremblay returned to narrate a few stories, and he was a great 4 star narrator, as always. Unfortunately, the only other strong narrator was Fiona Hardingham, she narrated the other comedic story, “Meet Cute and Die.” The others are alright, and one was awful. That narrator makes some of the stories so hard on the ears that you might prefer to physically read those chapters.

Overall, it’s a fun listen that I recommend.

This was a wonderful was to end the series, with some exciting stories to fill in gaps and new ones that were very entertaining. I am sad it’s over.
