Fans of Neal Schusterman’s Arc of a Scythe trilogy will devour this collection of tales from the world of the series, which offers origin stories for both favourite characters and hated foes, introducing new faces along the way. However, its most surprising efforts come from tales that explore issues of humanity—art, love, creation—in a world without death.

Wow! This was such an unexpected little treat - and a must read for any fans of the original Arc of a Scythe trilogy. […] I think I'll definitely be revisiting the series at some point, and may well tandem read it alongside some of these short stories to add to the experience. An easy 5 stars!

I enjoyed these stories and it fascinated me to hear more about the world through a bunch of different authors.

I absolutely love this Universe, so a collection of short stories featuring some familiar and some new characters is exactly what I needed. Each one is written with the usual style and flair, and I've been inspired to reread the main series again as a result!
