Among the Nameless Stars
by Diana Peterfreund
Prequel to For Darkness Shows the Stars
Before Kai joined the Cloud Fleet, he wandered…
AMONG THE NAMELESS STARS
Four years before the events of FOR DARKNESS SHOWS THE STARS, the servant Kai left the North Estate, the only home he’d ever known, and Elliot North, the only girl he ever loved, in search of a better life. But the journey was not an easy one.
Featuring narrow escapes, thrilling boat races and at least one deadly volcanic wasteland. (description from Amazon.com)
I loved getting to see things directly from Kai's perspective as he was taking himself out into the world. Even though this novella is short, Peterfreund packs a lot of information about the world and Kai's situation into it, giving it a lot of depth. Things are not easy...that's for sure.
The Prince
by Kiera Cass
Prequel to The Selection
Before Aspen broke America’s heart . . .
There was another girl in Prince Maxon’s life. . . .
(description from Amazon.com)
Another prequel from the guy's perspective! I love the idea of getting inside Maxon's head. I loved finding out that he really was intrigued by America from the start...not just because she was refreshing in her refusal to bow and scrape for him, but also because he really found her attractive inside and out... makes me SOOO anxious for The Elite!
Full disclosure: Both novellas were purchased for my Nook
