First Death A Seventeen Series Short Story #1 (Audible Audio Edition) AD Starrling Michael Bower Books Reviews
First Death is a quick short story that takes place before the events of A.D. Starrling's Seventeen series. Though I haven't read the full-length novels yet and I have no idea of what exactly the main character is going to face later on in the series, I already feel drawn to him for his strength and courage of trying to move on after his first death when he was ten years old and the other terrible events he witnesses.
What I found interesting in this story is that Lucas is a half-breed immortal and that his very existence goes against the laws of the other immortals. His parents come from two different kind (or enemy clans?) of immortals, but I really don't understand why he is such a threat to them. In any case, the immortals are doing everything in their power to capture him and won't stop trying until they do.
Overall, First Death is an intriguing small taste of what the Seventeen series has to offer and now I'm very much looking forward to start the first book, Soul Meaning.
This short story is a prequel in the world of "Seventeen," Starrling's ongoing saga of two races of immortals living alongside normal humans throughout our history. In thee first book, there are references to Lucas parents being killed--repeatedly, because the immortals revive back into life the first sixteen times they're killed--and Lucas himself being killed a time or two before he manages to escape into the woods.
"First Death" tells that story from the viewpoint of seven-year-old Lucas. It's well-told,with a convincing child's view of the world, and contains hints of things that are more fully developed in the novels. Worth reading for any fan of the series, and an easy "taster" introduction if you haven't found them yet.
Recommended.
I received a free copy of the audio of this story from the author in exchange for an honest review.
This is a great pre story to Lucas Soul. It explains how he came to be where he is in the first book. It explains his parents death and how Lucas learned what he is and what he was to become. For a short novella it has so much information jammed into it and is so well written and interesting. It is a very interesting glimpse into Lucas as a child and what he saw and had to endure to be where he is today.
I love when authors take the time and do these little novellas that fill in the blanks that fact hungry people like myself just eat up, and even better, put them on audio too so I can keep on listening right along and not miss a beat, it is so awesome. Narrator Michael Bower is as good as ever with this cast of characters and I can't wait to move on to the next books in this series, he is that good. I kind of did this and the first full length book out of order, so I can't wait to see what is in store for Lucas next.
If you follow the blog, you will know that I discovered A.D. Starrling last year and fell in love with her brainy writing style. Normally I am not a fan of short stories or reading prequels after I have started the series... but I have enjoyed Starrling's snippets and peeks into the Seventeen world.
First Death gives us a glimpse into the origins of Lucas Soul, the hero of Soul Meaning. We finally get to meet Lucas' father and mother, and see the love they shared for each other and their son. The Soul parents were starcrossed lovers, each from a different sect of the supernatural race of immortals that is featured in this series. Their relationship and son, who is viewed as an abomination, earns them a death warrant, so they have been hiding out in the Alaskan (I think?) wilderness. Where ever it is they are hiding, its cold and there is lots of snow! Anywho, this is the story of how Lucas' family was discovered and his resulting first death.
If you are a fan of A.D. Starrling, you will enjoy this peek into Lucas' past. If you have yet to read this wonderful author, I suggest you start with this book, then move onto Soul Meaning.

Set in 1570 in the wooded mountains of Moldavia, Lucas and his parents have a simple cabin home in the woods. It’s winter and few travelers are about. That is, until Alexander and his men show up on their doorstep. Lucas’s simple, happy world is about to be shattered.
Alexander kills Lucas’s father first, and then his mother Katarina. To Lucas’s surprise, they rise to fight again. Alas, they are killed again. This cycle continues again and again while Lucas is forced to watch. Lucas, the poor lad, goes into some sort of shock over it all.
Then Lucas must suffer his first death. Things don’t go as planned for Alexander and his men. I really liked the crow imagery and the ashes left behind. There’s definitely something very intriguing about this story. The tale and danger doesn’t stop with Lucas’s first death. Nope. Afterwards, he has to figure out his next move, how to survive the winter, who his allies (or parent’s allies) are. I was impressed by how much was packed into this short story.

Narration Michael Bower was good, especially with the accents. He also did a good job imbuing emotion into the characters. Alexander sounded villainous through and through.
This one is great also
This was a prequel to Soul Meaning and told the story of Lucas Soul's first death. Good but way too short. This could be a novel or a novella itself.
The prequel novella of Lucas's childhood. The story of him witnessing the murder of his parents over and over as the killers wiped out their remaining lives of their seventeen deaths and his trek to escape and live to fight another day and his own justice.
