Nice little novella that gives some extra time to some of the characters we later meet in the Shadow Campaigns. There is still room for more adventures with these characters to, as there is still a gap between where we leave them in this and where they show up in main story line.

This was such a good introduction to this world for me. I liked meeting Abraham and seeing his past. It made me want to continue following the story to learn more about what he plans to do and how he plans to do it. I think he was such an interesting character and I love that his love for Peter is what is motivating him to escape.
I understand Peter's motivation for bringing his and Abraham's downfall, but I still would have liked for him to have been stronger.
I definitely want to learn more about demons and how they work, especially Alex's demon. I would like to know more about how the demon chooses a host and what happens to the host when they use the demon's powers. Hopefully that is explained in the actual series.
Overall: 4/5 stars. I really enjoyed this. It was a nice taste of the world, so I think I'll be picking up the rest of the series!

3.5 - 4 stars
This short novella served its purpose as a teaser to generate interest in the Shadow Campaigns series. I loaded The Thousand Names on my Kindle - now I just need time to read it!
