Also it’s set on Mars as well, which was super interesting. Highlights from some of the stories:Ī Martian Minute - This one was chilling and interesting in turn, giving us the backstory of Scythe Goddard. Some of the stories are also co-authored, so that was pretty cool to see the collaborations. But I think anyone who’s a big fan of the series will definitely enjoy the references and cameos. None of the stories are about Citra/Rowan but they do make cameos and are referenced.Īdmittedly, it’s been a while since I read the trilogy so I didn’t remember a lot, and maybe didn’t recognised some reoccurring names.


Some origin stories come to life (especially for Goddard and Scythe Marie Curie) and it pulls other characters from the shadows to tell us what happened with them (like Citra’s little brother, Ben). There are 13 tales here, and each follows a different POV, some from characters we know and love from the original trilogy and others from new perspectives of people just existing in the world. Time for a fresh addition to the Scythe series with short stories that range from exciting, emotional, cute and eye-opening. We’re back in Neal Shusterman’s Arc of a Scythe world for a short story compilation!
