Enter the name of the series to add the book to it. Works can belong to more than one series.

By default, it sorts by the number, or alphabetically if there is no number. If you want to force a particular order, use the character to divide the number and the descriptor. So, " 0 prequel " sorts by 0 under the label "prequel. Series was designed to cover groups of books generally understood as such see Wikipedia: I enjoyed learning about Jeth and the back-story behind the ship Avalon, the loss of his parents, and how he came to be working under the infamous crime lord Hammer Dafoe.

I loved the immediately sense of camaraderie among the crew and their space adventures. It was fun having the story told through Jeth's point of view, and I was immediately drawn to his character.

Proxy: An Avalon Novella

There's just something about being inside a male characters head, hearing their perspective on things that I find fascinating- especially when he's a young teen and the setting is a science fiction thriller. I gave this novella 3. I liked the story and I'm totally excited for Avalon, but I had a hard time rating it any higher due to it's short length. Aug 07, Katherine rated it really liked it. A good quick read with a nice glimpse of what's to come- or what has been if you're reading this post-Avalon as I am. I liked getting to see them on a job again. It was fascinating seeing how Lizzie broke in with the crew, but I almost wish it had the old tech person on the job so that we could see how they worked in that circumstance.

It also would have shown Jeth when he was more reckless which would have been fascinating. I really loved how it brought emotion out of Jeth though. Avalon being s A good quick read with a nice glimpse of what's to come- or what has been if you're reading this post-Avalon as I am. Avalon being set almost two years later Jeth has locked down his emotions quite a bit and doesn't let things like his affection for his little sister leak out.

Seeing that side come to life was refreshing and also a good indicator for the book to come. More than just a nice quick heist story. Or, if you've read the first book already, it's a fascinating read about what came before. Having just read Polaris it turns out this is a bit more of required reading to the series as a whole. Read it either before or after Polaris, but an introduced character becomes important to the whole of the story in Polaris. Also, Arnett does not do anything to setup the character in Polaris, she mostly relies on your knowledge of her from Proxy.

So, if you are interested in reading this little series, make sure to include Proxy! Apr 25, Carina Olsen rated it really liked it. I wasn't sure I was going to read this short story, despite wanting to for over a year. But then I finished Polaris today. And I had to read it. I had to know more about Jeth. And the new character, Aileen. I'm glad I read this. Proxy takes place before Avalon starts, and I enjoyed reading it so much. I don't want to share too much about this short story, as it isn't very long, but I really liked it.

Had a few smallish issues, which is why this is a four star, but mostly I loved all of it. I loved getting to read more about Jeth, whom I've grown to love. And his little sister Lizzie. She's all kinds of amazing. While this is pretty short, we still get to know a lot of things. I loved getting to read more about Jeth and his crew.

And I might like them all a little bit more. We also get to meet Aileen, and I do wish there will be something more about her after Polaris. Such an interesting character. It's fast and fun to read. There is a party and awesome clothes. I enjoyed getting to read more from Jeth. I'm so glad I decided to read this short story. If you've read Avalon and haven't read Proxy yet, I really think you should do so.

As this one was pretty amazing: I enjoyed the writing and the characters a whole lot. Dec 11, M rated it it was ok Shelves: In fact, it only got two stars, because it doesn't hurt: They are just boring and lame. Yes, a YA interested audeince might read it, but really, can't we be a bit more intelligent about these things?

Also, I felt that the author didn't really know what this book wanted to be: I mean it's nice that they don't but the way it is presented just doesn't work in the context. And what is it with overly protective men or brothers? I thought everyone had established that if you wanted that you'd be reading Shades of Grey ok, wrong audience , but really do we constantly have to warm up these Victorian view of men and women? Oh, sorry I forgot, there is the US mid-west. Just a very shallow read Jan 10, Online Eccentric Librarian rated it really liked it.

Jeth, Celine, Shady, Lizzie, and Flinn. Chronologically, this takes place before the start of the novel Avalon. Our protagonists are working for Hammer and have an assignment: Teamed up with Jeth's former team leader, the group will encounter betrayals, set backs, and sheet bad luck. What seemed like a difficult but straightforwar More reviews and no fluff on the blog http: What seemed like a difficult but straightforward infiltration of a royal party soon turns out to be much more.

We're also introduced to another set of characters who will show up prominently in the second book in the series, Polaris. Because of that, this is definitely worth the download. At only pages, this is a 1 hour or so read that flows smoothly and resolves completely. It can be read before or after Avalon but for most impact, I do recommend reading it before Polaris. Mar 22, Pili rated it really liked it. Proxy is a prequel novella for the new science fiction series by Mindee Arnett. In Proxy we meet all the main characters that we will be following in Avalon, the first book in the series, Jeth and the rest of the Shades.

We are introduced to them and what they do for a living. We're thrown right away into the action and we get to know the characters by the way they act. I was quite excited about Proxy cause it is an introduction to the world of Avalon and I'm happy to report that I'm already in lo Proxy is a prequel novella for the new science fiction series by Mindee Arnett. I was quite excited about Proxy cause it is an introduction to the world of Avalon and I'm happy to report that I'm already in love with Jeth and his band of smart misfits! I am a lover of science fiction and if Avalon is like Proxy, it is quite promising!

Full of action, with enough development to make you care for them and look forward to read more about them. There were no hints at a romance at all, and I wouldn't be upset if there was none in Avalon. Not that I don't appreciate a well done romance, but I feel like I need a bit of a break and reading some adventures in space without romance taking over the plot sounds great. There's also the first chapter of Avalon at the end of Proxy and damn, does it leave you wanting more! Dec 30, Rebecca rated it it was ok Shelves: I'm going with the 2-star here because, according to Goodreads, 2 stars means "it was okay" and that's all this was - just okay.

It's not terrible, but it's nothing special either. It's supposed to be a prequel novella to Avalon , and I think it was released before that book to give readers a "taste" of the world.

Which it kind of does, but it's also not terribly interesting.

Jeth Seagrave and his band of teenage mercenaries have been making a name for themselves for being able to steal anything—and for disappearing before anyone is the wiser.

Their latest job, a jewel heist on Grakkus, should be no different. I wanted to be totally in love with the characters.

Unfortunately, we as in the characters and I are still in the stage of getting to know each other. And that is rather horrible. I wanted to feel the love the crew have for each other, but I just felt like they were co-workers doing on a job. I found him to be the most interesting character. This is the type of person Jeth could be if Jeth is pushed too far.
