Goodreads Summary:
Before Cirque Du Freak...
Before the war with the vampaneze...
Before he was a vampire.
Larten Crepsley was a boy.
As a child laborer many centuries ago, Larten Crepsley did his job well and without complaint, until the day the foreman killed his brother as an example to the other children.
In that moment, young Larten flies into a rage that the foreman wouldn't survive. Forced on the run, he sleeps in crypts and eats cobwebs to get by. And when a vampire named Seba offers him protection and training as a vampire's assistant, Larten takes it.
This is his story.
Review:
I was so excited for this book! I have read the first 4 of the Saga of Darren Shan books and frequently wondered what Larten was like as a young vampire, and poof this gets published! I can't help but love it as in the other series Larten was my favorite character and still is thanks to this book. It is just an epic book. If you haven't read it I totally think you should. Even though this is a prequel, I think you should start with the Saga of Darren Shan though, because in my opinion some things will make more sense.
