A page turner for sure. This book follows Mace Windu as he searches for his former padawan, Depa Billaba, to find out what happened to her.
This was a good read, full of action and believable characters. Well written and the story was executed superbly.
Throughout the story I found myself really connecting with Mace. As the story progressed, I could feel his dispair in me. At one point I felt overwhelmed with hopelessness. A book rarely does that to me, and I was surprised. But in the end, I was left satisfied. A bitter sweet satisfaction, but satisfaction nonetheless.

I could not put this book down. The plot was relentless. Great read, one of the best Star Wars books I have ever read.

This book was fascinating. I read this book, then I read Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor about a year later. And I must say, between the two, this one was better. They are both written by the same author, and the stories connect some. This book does a great job of painting a picture of the horrors of the war. This book was suspenseful, action filled, and exciting. But it wasn't all good. It wasn't very good in it's descriptive matter. Like, what the heck is a grasser? How big is it? What does it look like? For being such a crucial part of the book, you'd think it might get some description. Many other things lacked description in my opinion, but this wasn't near as bad as the non-description in say, Children of the Jedi, but it still needed some work. All in all, it was a good book, and it had likable characters. Nick Rostu is my favorite character in this book.

This was a really great read! I read this after finishing the plagueis book and it was a stark change from the politics that surround plagueis and palpatine. This book had several well written and exciting fight scenes throughout that made this one of my favorite Star Wars book that I’ve read so far. Mace Windu, and Vaapad, are an interesting topic and to see how it affects both Jedi makes everything surrounding the Jedi and sith that much more murky, which ultimately makes the series as a whole a lot more complex.
