Gehört zur ReiheDark is the Night (2.5)
Benjamin Prichard has spent much of his life feeling like an outsider. Growing up, his odd behaviour and visions of ghosts left him isolated, not to mention being the child of an immigrant mother and an absent father. Benjamin walks the line between not being Chinese enough for one community, and not English enough for the other. Whisperwood School for Boys changes everything. More specifically, Preston Alexander does. Drawn into a close circle of friends for the first time, Benjamin finally feels as though he's found somewhere he belongs. But life is never simple; his feelings for Preston are hardly platonic, and Benjamin doesn't need one more reason to stand out--which means the option of pursuing those feelings is off the table. But after graduation, when tragedy flips his world upside-down, Benjamin will need to decide which path he wants to chase: the one his mother always wanted for him, or the one that follows the boy he loves.

It takes place both during their time at Whisperwood, and shows how they ultimately met as well as their friendship with Oscar, as well as the subsequent months where Benji's mother has died and he meets his father for the first time. We learn of Benji's Chinese background (in the first book it's noted by James that he has "some Asian descent" but I found it unclear if that could mean Indian or east Asian in the 1800s vernacular) and of his mother and father's relationship. We also learn that both Preston and Benji have feelings past friendship for one another which also wasn't clear from the first book.
I find both Preston and Benji much more interesting with better developed voice than William so I enjoyed this much more than the 2nd book in the series and even a bit more then the 1st, which adds to why I find it odd this is considered more a novella in the series than a book in it's own right. I look forward to the next book which takes Preston and Benji overseas and more involved with the spiritual world Preston's aunt and their friends are already immersed in. ( )
