I don't usually enjoy novellas, but I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Lorian's experiences on Belusha. In the sixth book, Lorian provides Hadrian Marlowe with very little information about his time on Belusha, which obviously piqued my curiosity. Plus, Lorian is a well-developed character who deserves more attention, so having an entire story centered around him was fantastic. The plot had intriguing twists and complexities. I found it to be well-crafted, and it has made me want to read the other sun eater novellas I haven't gotten around to as well. It would be convenient if all of them were available in one collection. But that would be too easy.
