Shusterman gives us peeks into the past and futures of the world of Scythe with his new book of short stories. You may have to refresh your memory of the names of certain scythes, but you will not be disappointed. Most of the stories are just interesting to read, some are very thoughtful. One of the stories made me cry – I won’t tell you which, though – you’ll just have to see if you cry too. Mild LGBT content, cultural characteristics beyond the Scythe universe don’t exist.
