I finished the Scythe series recently, and saw this book ... 13 short stories in the same universe. Some prequels, giving us a history of some of the characters, other stories were just side stories, others happened after what we'd already read.
My mother saw that I'd enjoyed the Scythe series, but this was the only book the library carried in audio (the trilogy is an Audible exclusive, that I bought during an Audible sale). She thought she might try this, but I had to tell her that this has to be read AFTER the trilogy. A couple of the stories would be okay, although I don't know that a new reader would understand the world without the trilogy as a background. Other stories would be spoilers for the series.
I enjoyed these, but as they are bite-sized bitty books, I used them as palate-cleansers between other books. I didn't listen to them all back to back.
No proFanity. A few words I note: cerulean, bucolic, purloined. Apogee.
