Rating: 5 out of 5

I don't usually read novellas, especially not prequel novellas, but when I saw Among the Nameless Stars for free on Amazon I had to give it a shot. Mostly because I've been dying to read For Darkness Shows the Stars ever since seeing that gorgeous cover!Kai is such an immediately likable character, even though he's sort of caught in this whole I love you/I hate you mentality about his friend Elliot, a Luddite he left behind at his old home. Now he's traveling, looking for a better life in Channel City. But, he finds, that "better" life he's been dreaming of might not exist after all. Or... maybe it does, if he can just figure out a way to outsmart a man (more like mobster) named Pen.Even though Among the Nameless Stars is a novella, it's just long enough to tell an intriguing story that will have you dying to read For Darkness Shows the Stars if you haven't already. I know I will be reading it soon! Peterfreund somehow conveys just enough of the world without any info dumps or over-complicating the story.If you haven't read For Darkness Shows the Stars give this prequel a try. I bet you'll enjoy it. And if you have read it, then you'll probably want to check out the adorable angsty Kai presented in this compelling prequel.
