I was pretty disappointed with this. Definitely not a bad book by any stretch, just lacks any sort of oomph to make it memorable in any sense. I found the world building and character traits to be really enthralling, and is what hooked me in to this book. But the action, the centerpiece of what goes on in this story is insanely forgettable to say the least. I noticed that almost every fight scene is written the exact same way too. It felt like the author of this book wanted to write a Star Wars story, but without taking any inherent risks to possibly alter the grand legacy or timeline of the franchise. So instead of something interesting that takes place WAY before anything else in the series, we have an absolute bookend, something safe and boring to collect dust.
I may come back to this one buttttttt just need to move on for now.
Ok, I've learned something for sure that I've always suspected: I don't give a wamprat's ass about Jedi (or even Je'daii, as they're called here). They are so boring. Fast forwarding back to planets and TIE fighters and battles now.

Somewhere to start
Reading Star Wars chronologically. Good book but missing some connection or explanation to the universe. Could use a little more detail.

First in my Star Wars Legends-A-Thon and it’s an okay book. Fun enough but the constant back and forth with the flashbacks got annoying after a while and the mystery was not explained and probably won’t be explained since Disney got its hands on the franchise soon after this was published so this is no longer canon. What a shame.
