Description
Honor and Shadows is a 10,000-word prequel novelette set just before the start of Hunt the Stars. Captain Octavia Zarola needs an infusion of credits-fast-if she's going to keep her close-knit bounty hunting crew paid and fed. Tracking down an escaped embezzler on a backwater planet should be a piece of cake, but bounties are rarely as easy as they seem. As the crew closes in on their quarry, the hunt becomes entangled with a local criminal overlord, and Tavi will have to decide what's more important: money or honor, and how much she's willing to risk for either one.

This is a good intro to the first book. You meet the crew and see their personalities as they are trying to bring in a large bounty. Not too much to say about it since it is only a novelette.

A short novella introducing Captain Octavia Zarola, a bounty hunter and former soldier and the crew of her spaceship, Starlight's Shadow while they are on a job to track down a fugitive.
This was an enjoyable read. The author strikes a good balance between worldbuilding, explanations, character
I liked the main character Tavi and her crew, Eli - the first officer, Kee - the systems engineer and their mascot, Luna - a burbu (which is basically a cat/ferret/fox mix) that can communicate telepathically. I would have liked for Tavi to be a bit more bloodthirsty (she's pretty pacifist) but it wasn't a deal breaker.
I'm curious to see where the story goes. 4 stars.

development and plot. There's a lot of action sprinkled with just enough descriptions for me to not to feel too lost. But not so much I don't feel like I wouldn't be interested in reading the rest of the series.I liked the main character Tavi and her crew, Eli - the first officer, Kee - the systems engineer and their mascot, Luna - a burbu (which is basically a cat/ferret/fox mix) that can communicate telepathically.
