I requested this one back in the day as I had every intention of reading it. However, its been years and I still haven't gotten around to it and while I feel guilty at not reviewing a book I think that I need to admit to myself that I won't be reading this one anytime soon....if at all.
Having very much enjoyed Zenn Scarlett I was excited to read the sequel and Zenn's adventures in exoveterinarian training. This is much faster paced than book one and is more of the wonderful aliens that featured in Zenn Scarlet, along with intrigue, mystery, and space travel.
Read in 2014, apologies for the delay in feedback.
In Under Nameless Stars, the sequel to Zenn Scarlet, our titular character leaves Mars as a stowaway aboard the Helen of Troy. Zenn is following a lead on her missing father. What starts as a mission to find her dad becomes much bigger when the Helen is hijacked.
Christian Schoon's book is so creative. Zenn is an exoveterinarian, meaning she specializes in doctoring creatures from space, and Schoon is so good at populating his book with interesting creatures. I found space travel by Indra especially fascinating, and a clever move on Schoon's part as it makes Zenn's role that much greater. Jules was a very fun addition. I'm not going to tell you what kind of creature he is, but I will say it was very unexpected.
Overall, a delightful find. Reading this book really made me wish, once again, that Angry Robots hadn't closed their Strange Chemistry imprint.
focused on a very different kind of interest for the MC, but i was expecting a different story
Struggled to get into this one as I didn't realise it was a Book #2, but thank you for the opportunity.
